The UBC Master of Data Science (MDS) is an intensive 10-month graduate program. Created through collaboration between UBC's Computer Science and Statistics departments, the MDS curriculum addresses the rising demand for data science professionals by training graduates to transform raw data into actionable insights.

In our digital world, every action produces data, and each technological advancement for collecting this information opens new possibilities for discovery, innovation, and transformation.

Data science involves deriving meaningful insights from information using transparent, repeatable methodologies.

Through both descriptive and predictive approaches, students learn to process and examine data in various formats, then effectively present their analysis results to help organizations make data-driven choices
