This is the introductory course for the Applied Data Science profile and the Applied Data Science postgraduate MSc programme. As such, it's primary objective is to inspire and introduce you to the emerging domain of Applied Data Science. The following assignments are among the key parts of the course:
- Book review: Explore data science and its societal impact
- Mid-term data analysis assignment
- Final data analysis assignment
- [A] Book review
- [B] Mid-term assignment
[C] Final assignment
[D] Written, mostly multiple choice, exam
- [E] Optional bonus for extraordinary participation/performance
Grade = [A]*0.10 + [B]*0.25 + [C]*0.30 + [D]*0.35 + [E]
NB: To qualify for the second chance exam, all grading components need to be at least 4.0, and components A-C need to have been submitted within the allotted time.

Hoorcollege
AlgemeenThere will be 6 contact hours per week. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, regular lectures will be given.
In the first weeks, the lectures will focus more on the fundamentals of applied data science, whereas in the second half we will be introduced into current research of various UU/UMCU researchers related to applied data science.
| Werkcollege
AlgemeenThe Thursday lectures are then followed by workshop sessions where we will practice with big data tools (esp. Hadoop) and collaboratively investigate their societal impact.
