In recent years, the increasing role of social media and information technologies in our lives has changed the digital data perspective of many scientific fields. As in the past, the information technology tools designed by software companies can no longer adapt to the forms of the large-scale data that change daily and provide quick solutions to the demands of the changing analytical world. With rapidly developing information technologies, complex data can be analyzed with flexible programming systems that are easy to use and learn, and digital data that could not be stored in data warehouses before can be made available to users very quickly through cloud systems. As a result, it has become essential to use machine learning and mathematical methods developed in the so-called "data science" disciplines together, and the need for new scientists who can theoretically know and use these methods in a way that is compatible with the developing information technologies has increased.
The Data Science MSc program aims to train scientists who can control, manipulate, and shape large-scale data and investigate which mathematical, statistical, or machine learning method can better examine the data.
