Professional Master's Degree in Data Science Management (DSO, Data Science Officer).

Today's world is increasingly data-driven and consequently, the demand for highly skilled data analytics professionals is constantly increasing. Data management is a growing discipline, and one of the most important roles in this field is the Data Science Officer (DSO). A DSO is a professional who is responsible for leading data analysis projects and making strategic decisions based on the information obtained. In addition, the DSO is also responsible for ensuring the quality and consistency of the data used. This includes assessing the accuracy and completeness of the data, identifying gaps in knowledge, and overseeing the analysis and presentation of the data so that it is clear and useful to the rest of the business.

Data Science Management and the DSO role are crucial for companies looking to fully leverage the power of data and analytics to improve their performance. The DSO is responsible for ensuring data quality and consistency, leading the team of data science professionals, and working closely with other business leaders to identify data science opportunities and support informed decision making. Skills required for the role include project management experience, technical data science expertise, and leadership and communication skills. That's why at TECH Global University we have this academic program designed to provide specialized knowledge in data analytics, project leadership and strategic data-driven decision making.
