Today the world is inundated with information from sensors, digital images, streaming video, satellite and medical imagery, and more. In Data Science at the University of Waterloo, students will learn to extract meaningful information from that tsunami of data and use it to predict future trends. 

Students will complement their core courses in statistics, mathematics, and computer science with a range of electives from many of the University of Waterloo’s 100 subject areas. When students graduate, they will have the skills and knowledge to help governments and businesses make better decisions and smarter strategies. And students who take the co-op stream, they will have up to two years of work experience on top of that. 

When students graduate, they will be ready for a huge range of career options. The University of Waterloo’s grads are putting their skills to work in areas as diverse as medicine, business, advertising, entertainment, and public health.
