Why ADA

A master's built for real careers, not for a shelf.

The programme blends statistical rigour with modern data science tools, in a flexible format designed for students who want to enter the job market quickly or pivot their professional direction.

Real-world tech stack

Python, R, SQL, Big Data platforms and ML frameworks. You use the technologies employers actually look for — not just theory on a whiteboard.

International faculty

Each semester features a modular course with a visiting lecturer from the UK, Italy or Belgium. International perspective built directly into the programme.

Maximum flexibility

Evening classes on weekdays. Elective courses across the first 3 semesters. Ideal if you're already working or making a career transition.

For a career, not a shelf

Internship in semester 4 plus an applied dissertation. You graduate with a portfolio, not just a diploma on the wall.

Study Plan

4 semesters from fundamentals to Big Data and Machine Learning.

The curriculum builds progressively: from applied mathematics and Python, through to Machine Learning, Big Data and spatial econometrics. Each semester also includes elective courses for personalisation.
