About the program
The data science program is one of the programs that aims to benefit from the huge amount of data by employing advanced tools and algorithms, and helping in making decisions based on the value and knowledge extracted from the data after processing, as data is considered the "oil of the twenty-first century", as this term was launched to indicate the importance of data in the current era. As in the case of crude oil, we cannot use and benefit from it unless it is refined. Likewise, data, we cannot benefit from it unless it is mined, analyzed, and what is useful and beneficial from it is extracted.
Data science is one of the most attractive job fields in the twenty-first century. Data science deals with simple sets of data to complex arrays of millions of data paired with thousands of variables, as this specialization employs and uses intelligent algorithms based on machine learning to discover useful patterns in data sets, so; Data science is inseparable from a group of other sciences such as: database systems, data engineering, data visualization, business intelligence and big data analysis.
One of the most popular jobs for this specialization is a data scientist, who is the person concerned with computational and statistical analysis of data, and building machine learning models to solve various problems in different fields.
A graduate of the data science program is expected to be able to collect data and prepare it in the required format, visualize data, build machine learning and deep learning algorithms, and be able to extract implicit patterns and structures in data, in addition to knowledge and skill in applying various programming languages such as Python, knowledge of statistics, statistical tests and distributions, communication and cooperation between IT experts and business experts.
