Bachelor in Data Science and Analytics

Data Science and Analytics focuses on extracting insight and value from data through statistical analysis, computational methods, and visualization. Typical coursework includes programming, statistics and probability, machine learning, databases, data mining, and data visualization, alongside courses addressing the design of data pipelines and the handling of large datasets. As students advance, they apply these methods through projects involving real datasets, learning to clean, analyze, and model data in order to answer questions and support decision-making in business, science, or public policy contexts. Graduates commonly pursue careers as data analysts, data scientists, business intelligence specialists, or machine learning practitioners, and the field provides a foundation for further graduate study in data science, statistics, or computer science. This four-year bachelor's program is offered by Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English, giving students access to the internationally used tools, languages, and literature central to data science practice. As a technical university, Istanbul Technical University structures this program around strong training in mathematics, statistics, and programming, which forms the basis for later coursework in machine learning and applied analytics. Istanbul's expanding technology and finance sectors offer students opportunities for internships and exposure to organizations that rely heavily on data-driven decision-making. Across the four years of study, students progress from foundational quantitative and programming skills to specialized coursework in machine learning, data engineering, and analytics, developing the practical and analytical abilities needed to work with data across a wide range of industries.
