The undergraduate degree in Data Science is based on the convergence of different scientific areas - Mathematics, Statistics and Informatics – and its programme structure is structured around projects which foster both practical and theoretical thinking, with a view towards granting the student an informed, critical, and autonomous understanding of data in the face of the various dimensions of the Knowledge Society and the Digital Revolution.

The Bachelor's is well-situated for helping students to comprehend and explore the areas of this knowledge-base. These actions support the student's progressive acquisition of independence and the capacity to respond to problems of increasing complexity.

With the synthesis, which occurs in the last two semesters, the coherence of the training program is consolidated around responsible practice and the exceptional professional skills required in order to respond to the challenges of modern society.
