DATI2M - Introduction

Introduction

Introduction
The digital transformation of society has led to explosive growth in the volume of data available. Most of the players in society now place
great importance on using this data to help make objective decisions and develop their disciplinary focus. These specific needs have
resulted in the emergence of new data-oriented careers.
The master's in data science: Information Technology a course in scientific methods and technology tools for answering social or
scientific questions based on the processing of frequently massive data sets ("big data"). This discipline usually requires a structured
model of the problem in question to be combined with statistics and mathematics to deliver a rigorous, quantitative, operational solution
to the question posed. Computer infrastructure and complex calculation algorithms thus complement scientific methods in structuring
and processing the data.
A computer infrastructure and complex calculation algorithms also complement these scientific methods to enable the structuring and
processing of data.
Finally, cybersecurity has become an essential element in a data-centric world: it will be a question of understanding and being able to
manage the risks associated with the data itself, but also of being able to protect stored data and circulate it securely.
The fields of application of data science are extremely varied: political and security decision-making, e-commerce, processing network
data, processing financial and industrial production data, natural langage processing, biomedical research based on microbiological or
imaging data.
Your profile
You have completed a bachelor's or master's degree in which you have acquired solid skills and a taste for the three basic building
blocks of data science: mathematics, statistics and computer science, as well as a curiosity for the application areas of these disciplines.
You have a good command of technical English and are able to follow lectures, read scientific literature, write reports and express
yourself orally in this language. You have the general skills and personal qualities necessary for a scientific master's degree, such as
autonomy, critical thinking, rigour, self-learning and the ability to research and process information.
An additional teaching block (of maximum 60 credits) may be offered to students who lack some of these skills.
Your future job
Your degree in data science prepares you for the posts of « data scientist », « data analyst», « security analyst », « data and analytics
manager », « data engineer », « security engineer », or « security architect » .
Your programme
The master's programme: Data Science : Information Technology at UCLouvain is based on a common core that provides a technical
foundation in the fields of learning theory, databases, and linear statistical models.
This common core is completed by the choice of a focus on data analysis or a focus on cybersecurity.
The data analysis focus offers a range of algorithmic and statistical methods for data mining, learning, and visualization of large data
sets.
The cybersecurity focus is structured around five pillars: cryptography, privacy, and hardware, software and system security, as well as
an introduction to information theory.
These pillars are completed by majors and elective courses that allow students to deepen their knowledge of algorithmic, computer
science, statistical, application or entrepreneurial aspects.
Your parcours
You will primarily develop strong, in-depth, cross-disciplinary skills to be able to address a broad spectrum of data science and
cybersecurity problems and to carry out projects or develop research in the field.
Your programme will offer you opportunities to explore, through projects, internships or applied courses, the extremely varied fields of
application of data science.

Teaching method

Active learning and soft skills

You will play an active role in your training. The teaching approach is a balanced mix of lectures, exercises, projects to be carried out
alone or in groups. The teaching methods are varied. At certain times, you will be led to discover concepts or techniques independently,
and the teaching staff is then seen as a resource made available to you to support your learning.
At other times, the pedagogy is more transmissive and provides you with the necessary keys to carry out subsequent tasks. An
important place is reserved for non-technical skills (autonomy, organisational skills, time management, communication in different
modes, etc.). In particular, through a pedagogy that emphasises project activities (including a large-scale project that puts groups
of students in a semi-professional situation), the course develops a critical mind capable of designing, modelling, implementing and
validating complex computer systems.
Languages
The lingua franca of data science is mainly English. The use of English throughout the programme allows you to develop your command
of this language, which will facilitate your professional integration. Course materials and supervision are in English. However, you
can always ask questions or take the exam in French if you wish. In addition, the programme offers the possibility of attending extra
language courses and participating in exchange programmes abroad.
Interdisciplinarity
Like many academics, the data scientist will be required to manage projects and a team in the course of his or her career, and will
have to take an interest in the complex socio-economic context in which data science is embedded. You will therefore be invited
to open up your training to other disciplines via elective courses or certain options such as the option "interdisciplinary program in
entrepreneurship".

Evaluation

The evaluation methods comply with the regulations concerning studies and exams. More detailed explanation of the
modalities specific to each learning unit are available on their description sheets under the heading “Learning outcomes
evaluation method”.

Each unit of the programme includes an oral or written examination, often supplemented by a project leading to a report which is part of
the assessment. The optional internship and the master thesis each involve the writing of a document which is defended orally before a
jury.
To compute the final grade, the marks obtained for the teaching units are weighted by their respective credits.

Mobility and/or Internationalisation outlook

Over the years, EPL has developed over a hundred partnerships with partners in more than 36 countries (EU and non-EU) to offer
exchange programmes to its students. We also offer the possibility of obtaining Double degrees, Joint Degrees or Dual Masters in
several fields. The EPL is currently participating in two Erasmus Mundus programmes: FAME and STRAINS.
In addition to exchange programmes under the Erasmus+ programme, numerous agreements have been established with a wide range
of universities through various partner networks such as:
- TIME network (Top Industrial Managers in Europe).
- CLUSTER network
- Magalhães network
- Circle U. network through several networks and European University Alliance
So, there's no shortage of opportunities to gain an additional qualification and/or spend part of the year abroad during your two-year
Master's degree! It's the perfect opportunity to discover or improve your knowledge of a foreign language, tackle subjects from a new
angle and gain unique experience in Europe or the rest of the world.
If you would like more information, please visit the dedicated pages of the EPL International Office to discover all the destinations,
testimonials from former students and all the procedures to follow to make these opportunities a success.

Possible trainings at the end of the programme

The master's degree in data science, information technology orientation can be followed, under certain conditions, by by a PhD thesis.
