Data Science and Entrepreneurship

This program combines Data Science and entrepreneurship courses like data integration & architecture, data mining, legal aspects of business venturing, intellectual property, ethics and privacy issues

This joint Master's degree program is offered in cooperation with Tilburg University.

The program combines Data Science courses with courses that address entrepreneurship. Examples of courses are: data integration and architecture, data mining, business process management, data entrepreneurship, and creative thinking and open innovation. The program also incorporates theories and concepts from legal aspects of business venturing, intellectual property, and, ethical and privacy aspects of data.

The backbone of the program is formed by a series of courses called Data Entrepreneurship in Action (1-3). In these courses, students work in teams and will use data-driven methods to test the feasibility of an idea/innovation, build a data-intensive product/solution, propose sales channels and customers, and develop entrepreneurial skills in building a technology startup. Representatives from the industrial partners of the MDSE will share actual problems and datasets in two or three applications domains. As “clients” of these teams, these industrial representatives will actively work with MDSE professors to coach the student teams.
