Data Scientist (DS)

We all produce enormous amounts of data every day. This data is a wealth of information for companies and organizations. As a Data Scientist you convert this data into valuable insights for companies and organisations. Whatever wish or question your customer has, you can convert it into the information they need. Whether it concerns predicting opportunities in the market; saving or earning money, making a work process more efficient or detecting fraud. Or predicting the next flu wave. The possibilities of Data Science are endless. To draw the right conclusions, you use different methods, processes and systems, such as machine learning (development of algorithms and techniques with which computers can learn from data and thereby predict/discover connections). These techniques (also called artificial intelligence or AI) are very fast. We therefore teach you to estimate whether these relationships and predictions are logical and why. As a result you not only have a good knowledge of IT, but you are also able to uncover the information requirement and convert it into solid advice.
