Where else you can go

Routes many people do not think of straight away. Every statement names source and date; what is missing reads “not documented yet”.

  • IT project lead via Bachelor Professional in IT (IHK)

    You plan, steer and lead IT projects and teams. The qualification certifies this leadership and project competence.

    Why you fit

    Your computer science degree covers the technical side. The qualification adds project management, people leadership and a documented practical project.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The exam has four parts: technical specialisation (systems integration and networking, or information security), IT-specific fields of action, staff leadership and personnel management, and an IT project with a technical discussion. Admission is possible, among other routes, via a related degree plus work experience or via several years of work experience. The IHK recommends applying for admission before a preparation course.

  • Data scientist with a master's in data science

    You analyse large data sets with statistics and machine learning and build models. You work with big-data technologies and analytical methods.

    Why you fit

    Programming, maths and computer science foundations from your degree are the base. The master's deepens machine learning and statistical data analysis.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The M.Sc. Data Science at the University of Marburg requires a relevant degree in data science, mathematics or computer science, or a comparable degree. It also requires an aptitude assessment and proof in computer science and maths. Content includes machine learning, big-data technologies, data mining and statistical data analysis.
