4. New Bachelor of Science programme - Computational Data Science (CDAS)

CDAS is jointly developed by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics and will be offered in academic year 2022-23.

In today’s information age, the demand for data analysts in both local and global employment markets is growing daily. To meet this rapid pace of change, the CUHK Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics have jointly developed a Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Data Science (CDAS) to provide students with the in-depth academic training in big data processing, high-performance parallel and distributed computing, data-driven statistical procedures, methodologies and theories, computational statistics, machine learning and data mining. The programme provides four specialisations so that students can apply the core knowledge of computational data science to different science, engineering, and medicine disciplines: (a) Computational Data Science, (b) Computational Physics, (c) Computational Medicine, and (d) Computational Social Science. Thus, students will be able to develop cutting-edge massive data analytics and management solutions that are of practical interest to academics, industry, and society.
