I decided to pursue this Master’s programme as I have a strong interest in Data Science. It deals with huge volumes of data, and uses modern tools and techniques to uncover unseen patterns, derive meaningful insights and make operational decisions. The programme curriculum is very structured, and its relevance to my current job scope has helped me to add value to my work.
