- Description/content
- Data Science is a scientific field that has emerged at the interface of computer science, mathematics, statistics and applications. It is interdisciplinary by nature combining elements of its contributing sciences to solve challenging problems in a data-based, empirical approach. The PhD programme in Data Science (PDS) targets PhD students that work in data science in a broad sense, i.e. ranging from foundations over empirical applications to the societal implications of data science.
PDS is part of the Georg-August University School of Science (GAUSS). GAUSS defines the general regulations for PhDs in natural sciences, while the specific details for a PhD in data science are specified a dedicated appendix to these regulations. Please also refer to "further information" for details.
PDS is hosted by Göttingen's Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS). PhD students enrolled in PDS will automatically become members of CIDAS and as such they can benefit from the various offers and activities.
A list of potential PDS supervisors is available from https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/577092.html (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/577092.html) (choose “Data Science” as the programme in the drop-down menu).
