Data Science and Business Analytics MSc

This is a modern, four-semester program taught entirely in English. It combines advanced knowledge in data science, statistics, machine learning, and economics with practical programming skills (Python, R, SQL, SAS) and the development of soft skills such as communication and decision-making in business environments.

Double Degree – More Opportunities, Greater Prestige

Thanks to cooperation with the University of Milan (Università degli Studi di Milano) , students have the unique opportunity to obtain two international Master’s degrees with funding from the NAWA Katamaran Program:

• Data Science and Business Analytics – University of Warsaw
• Data Science for Economics – University of Milan

Students spend the first year at their home university (UW or UNIMI), and the second year at the partner university. This is not only a unique academic experience, but also a chance to grow in an international environment and build a global network of contacts.
