SPEC.DATA - Data Analytics - Specialization

The Specialization in Data Analytics is open to students in the Honours program in Computer Science (single-major only).

Today, there is a clear trend away from single-core processors, even in contemporary desktop machines, and toward the analysis of large datasets in the realm of Big Data Science. The efficient analysis of large scientific and retail datasets will require a generation of programmers, analysts, and developers who are familiar with techniques suitable for the analysis of Big Data. The Specialization in Data Analytics provides a solid foundation in those techniques, including parallel programming, visualization, and predictive modelling.

Students who have fulfilled the requirements for a single-major Honours degree in Computer Science may graduate with a Specialization in Data Analytics if they have successfully completed the following 4.0 credits:

• 4.0 COIS credits consisting of COIS 1400H, 3030H, 3510H, 3560H, 4350H, 4400H, 4470H, and 4550H
