Overview

The first year covers fundamentals in the above subjects, whereas the second year covers machine learning, statistical modelling, databases and optimization techniques. The year ends with a case-based project course where you will be in contact with a research group at the university. The third year allows for a number of electives, where you can broaden your knowledge in a subject of your interest or learn about areas where data science is used. The year concludes with a Bachelor’s project - typically centered around the use of data science methods for solving a real-world challenge.

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Data Science from Aarhus University is primarily based at the Department of Mathematics. The Department has its own canteen, library, and study areas available for students to use. Data Science has its own student organisation, Datavenskab, and the department also has a number of student organisations, such as Euler’s Friends (Eulers Venner) and the Kalkulerbar (Friday bar), that organise lectures on current maths topics, study excursions and social functions. 

Career Opportunities

A Bachelor’s degree in Data Science will typically be followed by a Master’s degree in Data Science. A Master’s degree in Data Science provides job opportunities in many different companies and organisations. The common denominator is the need to create data-driven solutions in these companies and organisations, for example in the financial sector, wind turbine industry, consultancy firms, pharmaceutical companies, the telecommunications industry, the food industry, the healthcare sector etc. You may also choose to apply for admission to the PhD programme and pursue a career in research.

Student visas for United States

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in United States a little easier and more enjoyable.

Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in the U.S. yes- you’ll definitely need an F-1 visa.
• Start exploring the official website of the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.
• Check the deadlines. The visa process takes time, and missing a step or delaying your interview could mean missing your semester start. Not the kind of plot twist you want.
• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt. Passport, I-20 form, DS-160 confirmation, SEVIS fee receipt, bank statements, academic transcripts yes, the list is long, and yes, you’ll need every piece.
• Start saving up. You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in the U.S. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, and possibly even your daily caffeine habits.
• Enhance your English skills, even if you’ve already taken  IELTS, Duolingo etc.  Strong language proficiency will benefit both your visa interview and academic success.

All in all, getting your F-1 visa might feel like a lot, but it’s a big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
