Data Science, B.Sc.
Digital progress is fundamentally changing the way we live and generate wealth. This also applies to the foundations of our value creation processes, in which data develops into a central raw material and data-based business models develop into a basis for all sectors of the economy. Particularly the continuous flow of data determines the use of new trends, innovations and research opportunities. The use and evaluation of data and data streams is the driving force behind progress in all sectors - be it industry, mobility, energy, education or healthcare.

Programme selection →About the programme
More and more forms of data are available to us: in industry - through consistent monitoring and conversion of processes, in research - through new evaluation methods and modern consideration of phenomena and developments, but also in private life, where developments such as the Smart Home are becoming the norm. The targeted storage and evaluation of this data offer great value creation potential for companies. Already today, anonymised data analyses are used to treat serious diseases such as cancer more accurately and to provide people with better, personalised chances of recovery. This requires appropriate data sets which can be made accessible for evaluation for the benefit of the general public and which can be evaluated by new analysis methods such as the rapidly developing Data Sciences.
Career
Many regional and global companies are expanding their commitment to Data Science. These include cross-sector industry, trade, digital media as well as financial services and management consulting. However, data analysis is also of great interest in medicine, robotics, the automotive and financial industries and process optimisation. In addition to good salary and promotion prospects, the sector also promises a creative and dynamic field of activity.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 30.06uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
