The EngD Data Science is a joint initiative of Eindhoven University of Technology, Tilburg University, and the Data Science Centre Eindhoven. Together they founded The Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS). The academy is a thriving data science community, in which postgraduate education, innovation, entrepreneurial activities, lifelong learning, and scientific research are integrated. A major part of the EngD program Data Science is related to real-life, cross-functional projects with partners in the data science ecosystem. The academy is located in the city of 's Hertogenbosch, in the former convent Mariënburg.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Data Science is concerned with the problem of finding patterns and creating value from vast streams of data in the context of a data domain. 
The main themes of the program are:
•    Collect, explore, analyze, interpret, and present huge data sets
•    Approach data and domain problems from multiple perspective
•    Create value for organizations by designing novel data driven solutions

The program combines statistics, computer science, mathematics, and design theory with the business acumen to explore data sets, gather insights, visualize results, and communicate meaningful findings to stakeholders taking into consideration underlying ethical and legal aspects.
