Data Science via distance learning
This program of data science analyses how to build systems and algorithms to extract knowledge, find patterns, generate insights and predictions from diverse data. It combines techniques and theories from mathematics, statistics, computer science and information science to find meaning in data, so that the derived knowledge can be used to make informed decisions. It also explores big data, a field that intends to analyze data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by a traditional processing software.

Data Management
This course of data management studies how to assist researchers with the organization, management, and curation of research data to enhance its preservation and access now and into the future.
Academic Supervisor: Patricia Aja Sánchez
Big Data
This course of big data explores the use of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytics methods that extract informative value from large or complex data sets. Big data is characterized the large volume of data in many environments, the wide variety of data types stored, and/or the velocity at which the data is generated, collected and processed.
Academic Supervisor: Alex Vuginshteyn
Data Analysis
This course of data analysis examines the analytical and logical reasoning to gain information from the data. The main purpose of data analysis is to find meaning in data so that the derived knowledge can be used to make informed decisions. It involves the interpretation of data to determine patterns, relationships or trends. Data analysis is the most crucial part of any research.
