Master’s Degree Program “Data Science and Mathematical Modeling” | Siberian Federal University

Master’s Degree Program “Data Science and Mathematical Modeling”

The program is designed for students with a background in Mathematics, Physics, Natural Sciences, Computer Science or Engineering. The main goal is to train highly-skilled professionals in the field of Data Science and Mathematical Modeling.

The graduates of this program will be very competitive at the international labor market.

The aim

The program is aimed at providing students with fundamental data science education and developing strong mathematical, statistical, modeling and programming skills.

Objectives

The main objectives of the program are the following:

  • to provide students with advanced knowledge in the field of Mathematical Modeling, Analysis,
  • to emphasise the need of using cutting-edge technologies
  • to differentiate between modern programming techniques needed for working with data (such as preparation, pre-processing, processing, and analytics)
  • to solve data analysis problems in various applied fields;
  • to develop soft skills (systemic and critical thinking, teamwork skills, self-management, interaction skills).

To ensure the learning outcomes are achieved, we have brought together highly professional academic staff with good command of English language and experienced researches in the filed of applied data analysis.

Learning outcomes (knowledge, skills, competence)

We work in close cooperation with IT and Engineering enterprises, which provides our students with applied tasks and helps them to develop their project management, teamwork, and client interaction skills.

We use modern training techniques to increase the efficiency of the study, including:

  • interdisciplinary approach
  • case study
  • blended learning
  • teamwork projects
  • active involvement in research activity.

Our students regularly participate in the interdisciplinary Data Analytics seminar of Siberian Federal University.

Graduates of the Program will be able to

  • conduct business and academic communication effortlessly, understand comprehensive professional information sources;
  • formulate analysis tasks at customer request;
  • choose appropriate methods and software, develop machine learning solutions according to a particular client's needs
  • interact with professionals in this field
  • interpret and convey results to the target audience
  • categorize the mathematical foundations of data analysis

The University

Today Siberian Federal University (SibFU) with over 35,000 students enrolled in its programmes is one of the most actively developing universities in Russia. Annually more than 200 visiting professors — leading scientists from UK, Germany, Spain and USA — deliver their lectures at SibFU.

The University is a winner of the Russian Government grants supporting research projects under the guidance of top-level scholars from Russia and all over the world.

More information

The campus of Siberian Federal University is located in a forested area of the city of Krasnoyarsk. Academic buildings and dormitories of the university are surrounded by natural forest lands and easily accessible by the public transport. More information about the University Campus can be found here.

The City of Krasnoyarsk

Krasnoyarsk is the administrative capital of Krasnoyarsky kray — second largest region of Russia. It is a big industrial and educational centre with a population of more than 1 million people, and also an important junction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The city is located on the banks of the Yenisey River in the valley formed by the Eastern Sayan Mountains. Nature reserve Stolby ("pillars") has become the city’s visiting card.

Among the famous people born in Krasnoyarsk are artist Vasily Surikov, opera singer Dmitri Hvorostovsky, biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov, skeletonist Alexander Tretyakov and ice-hockey player Alexander Semin.

In March 2019 Krasnoyarsk proudly hosted the XXIX Winter Universiade.
