Students will develop their ability to analyse and manage large amounts of data from various sources and evaluate their insights and solutions. In addition to strengthened problem-solving skills, students will also learn to effectively communicate their work to technical- and non-technical audiences, work independently or as a team, and factor in relevant standards, ethical and legal considerations to their projects.
