Social Media, Mobile Apps and Data Science - Focus area

 

Focus Area: Social Media, Mobile Apps and Data Science

”Social media, Mobile Apps and Data Science” is centred around development of services that enable modelling of user behavior based on raw text and images from social media or retrieved from contextually data generated by wearables and smartphones, and on methods to analyze, gain insights from, and possibly react to data arising from human activities.

It is suggested that students pick courses from the following list, while observing the overall requirements for the programme. Please note that students that have previously had one or several of the General Competence courses mentioned below are free to choose either other General Compentence or Technology Specialisation courses, following the rules described in the section "Students who have completed MSc courses on their Beng or BSc programme".
