S Science & Technology

Science and Technology – Aside from the knowledge that students will get from their chosen courses, students need to have additional knowledge to keep up with current world evolution of Data Science. It is a branch of science that plays an important role in various fields such as medical work, business, water and environment management. Data Science helps to support decisions both in public and private management by analyzing predictions from Big Data providing faster decisions with high accuracy. The Faculty of Science has the advantage in developing this knowledge because we have departments dealing directly with information science, consisting of knowledge in mathematics, statistics and computer science. Therefore, in order for our students to have modern knowledge to keep up with the changes in the world and be in demand for the jobs, the faculty therefore encourages our students to further develop this knowledge to the level that can be further used in the field of information science in the future.
