Management & Data Science at Leuphana University of Lüneburg

The ra­pid eco­no­mic and tech­no­lo­gi­cal trans­for­ma­ti­ons oc­cur­ring in the glo­bal eco­no­my and the tran­si­ti­on from an in­dus­tri­al to a know­ledge-ba­sed eco­no­my con­front cor­po­ra­te lea­ders with new chal­len­ges. The ri­sing flood of data as­so­cia­ted with the dy­na­mic com­ple­xi­ty of to­day’s busi­ness en­vi­ron­ment can no lon­ger be hand­led by tra­di­tio­nal me­thods and ma­na­ger’s per­so­nal ex­pe­ri­ence alo­ne. This de­gree pro­gram­me de­li­vers in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry learning and re­se­arch op­por­tu­nities, that al­lows stu­dents to gain ap­p­li­ca­ti­on-ori­en­ted know­ledge for prac­tical ma­nage­ment so­lu­ti­ons. Through the in­te­gra­ti­on of ma­nage­ment, data ana­ly­sis and in­for­ma­ti­on sys­tems know­ledge, stu­dents will be able to de­ve­lop the la­test in in­no­va­ti­ve so­lu­ti­ons for ma­na­ging in­for­ma­ti­on-dri­ven or­ga­niza­t­i­ons.

Management & Data Science at Leuphana University of Lüneburg: Course Content

Du­ring the first se­mes­ter, stu­dents be­co­me ex­perts in extrac­ting know­ledge from data. They ac­qui­re a foun­da­ti­on in ma­the­ma­tics, skills in the use of data ana­ly­sis tools and an un­der­stan­ding of the data eco­no­mics. The se­cond se­mes­ter in­clu­des mo­du­les in sto­r­a­ge and mi­ning of mas­si­ve da­ta­sets, pro­ba­bi­lis­tic mo­de­ling, ana­ly­zing net­works as well as fo­re­cas­ting and si­mu­la­ti­on. In the third se­mes­ter, stu­dents un­der­ta­ke a chal­len­ging re­se­arch pro­ject, working in teams to ad­dress ques­ti­ons of prac­tical re­le­van­ce with sci­en­ti­fic ri­gor – of­ten in co­ope­ra­ti­on with lea­ding com­pa­nies, fo­cu­sing on data-in­ten­si­ve pro­blems from dif­fe­rent in­dus­tries. In ad­di­ti­on stu­dents de­epen their know­ledge of data pri­va­cy and ethics.

Two ad­di­tio­nal elec­tives pro­vi­de the pos­si­bi­li­ty for fur­ther spe­cia­liza­t­i­on that matches your pro­fes­sio­nal or per­so­nal in­te­rests. Stu­dents can choo­se from a wide ran­ge of sub­jects, e.g.: Geo In­for­ma­ti­on Sys­tems, Se­man­tic Web, In­for­ma­ti­on Re­trie­val and Un­struc­tu­red Data, Vi­sua­liza­t­i­on and Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on, Par­al­le­liza­t­i­on and High Per­for­mance Com­pu­ting. Al­ter­na­tive­ly, stu­dents can choo­se a ma­xi­mum of two op­tio­nal mo­du­les from other Ma­nage­ment & En­tre­pre­neurship ma­jors. Stu­dents plan­ning to stu­dy ab­road are ad­vi­sed to sche­du­le this for their third se­mes­ter.

In the field of Ma­nage­ment Stu­dies, stu­dents de­epen their spe­cia­list skills by com­ple­ting a to­tal of three mo­du­les. The in­ter­di­sci­pli­na­ry Com­ple­men­ta­ry Stu­dies com­po­nent to the pro­gram also com­pri­ses three mo­du­les and pro­vi­de stu­dents with a ge­ne­ral foun­da­ti­on in aca­de­mic and re­se­arch. The spe­cial fo­cus of the Com­ple­men­ta­ry Stu­dies al­lows stu­dents to fa­mi­li­a­ri­ze them­sel­ves with me­thods re­aching bey­ond di­sci­pli­na­ry boun­da­ries and to de­ve­lop new stra­te­gies for sol­ving pro­blems ari­sing in sci­ence and prac­tice.

In the fi­nal se­mes­ter, stu­dents wri­te their Mas­ters dis­ser­ta­ti­on and at­tend the ac­com­pany­ing Mas­ters Fo­rum.

Career

The Mas­ters pro­gram­me in Ma­nage­ment & Data Sci­ence pre­pa­res stu­dents to take on re­s­pon­si­bi­li­ties in­vol­ving ana­ly­ti­cal, con­cep­tu­al, con­sul­ting, and stra­te­gic work. Gra­dua­tes have a wide ran­ge of ca­re­er op­ti­ons avail­able to them, ran­ging from busi­ness con­sul­ting to cor­po­ra­te lea­dership po­si­ti­on as well as spe­cia­list tracks in in­for­ma­ti­on-in­ten­si­ve or­ga­niza­t­i­ons. Gra­dua­tes are awar­ded a Mas­ter of Sci­ence (M.Sc.) de­gree.
