You need a degree from our own six-semester Bachelor's programme in Data Science. Students who have completed a BSc programme in statistics, mathematics, computer science, or related fields can also be admitted for this Master's programme. You can find a detailed description of the admission criteria on this website: https://statistik.tu-dortmund.de/en/studies/degrees/data-science-msc/admission/ . Your Bachelor's programme must fit: It must contain relevant basics from the three fields computer science, mathematics and statistics. Your final degree must be equivalent to at least the grade 2.5 (German system). You must show sufficient English skills (details below). You must do our self assessment test and fill out our self disclosure document. Both of them are meant for you such that you can pre-assess whether you are a suitable candidate for our programme. We are neither interested in how good you score in the self test, nor in the details of your self disclosure (we will double-check all information ourselves). You have to work on the statistic project published on our website and submit a report of 10 pages. Admission is based on the quality of the report.
