1st grade 

Fundamentals of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, with hands-on programming starting as early as the first semester.
 

2nd year

Greater emphasis on hands-on activities. The course covers the core topics of data science, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, databases, and cloud computing.
 

3rd grade

More advanced topics in data science and its applications. Technology examined through the lenses of ethics, law, and anthropology, to provide a comprehensive perspective on its impact. Students are given greater autonomy in the Data Lab and Individual Project courses, the latter of which is carried out in a corporate or research setting.
