2. INTRODUCTION
We live in an interesting time where data is reshaping the world. Today businesses are either
adapting to the spectrum of data science technologies, or have already gained an edge with
the same.
Building holistic data science capabilities calls for an amalgamation of raw data and
algorithms to process it. For complex business requirements of today, those algorithms
need to be supported by robust software systems, which serve as the foundation for a
capable data science arsenal.
This has given rise to a unique demand in
the job market for professionals who have
strong programming skills to build these
systems, along with familiarity with data
science to understand the nuances of
leveraging data to deliver insightful
analysis. With the increased adoption of
data science, demand for technology
professionals who can implement systems
in data science, machine learning and
artificial intelligence is increasing.
In order to empower today’s technology
professionals to build practical skills in this
in-demand domain, IIIT-Hyderabad and
Great Learning have collaborated to offer
this Post Graduate Certificate in Software
Engineering for Data Science. Offered in a
blended learning format of live online
classes and classroom residencies at
IIIT-Hyderabad, the program offers the
perfect combination of convenient online
learning with short immersive classroom
sessions. This enables learners to upskill
without quitting their jobs, and learn from
one of India's top technology institutes
and leading faculty. On program
completion, learners get a PG certificate
from IIIT Hyderabad along with alumni
status.
This program will empower learners with
the right skills to build the next generation
of data science systems.
