Statistical Data Science

This Master's merges manufacturing technical and technological aspects with innovation and entrepreneurship teaching, in the context of global societal challenges, such as circular economy, industrial innovation and sustainability. It is a double degree programme, coordinated by EIT Manufacturing Master School, between UCD and other universities around Europe i.e. Aalto University, Finland, Ecole Centrale de Nantes (ECN), France, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Italian Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland, Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (Grenoble INP), France, University of Trento (UNITN), Italy and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria. The first year is spent at UCD (entry university) and the second year is spent at another (exit) university as listed above.



Students choose one of four majors offered as part of the programme i.e.



Additive manufacturing for Full Flexibility,

Zero-Defect Manufacturing for a Circular Economy,

Digital Manufacturing for Innovative Ecosystems

Data Science and AI for Competitive Manufacturing.

Post Course Info

There is strong demand throughout Europe for graduates of manufacturing degree programmes to be better equipped for the marketplace than their predecessors have been. There is a strong need for graduates to have direct experience in industry, to have a practical awareness of important developments within the sectors of Europe’s manufacturing industry (e.g., increased digitalisation, demands of Industry 4.0, growth of additive manufacturing and manufacturing data analytics, etc.), to have a greater awareness of innovation & entrepreneurship, combined with an international perspective that is the direct result of personal experiences. The ME Manufacturing Engineering will prepare you for high-level technical positions, Innovation roles and business profiles, including the capability to create your own start-up. It will also allow you to create a professional network at the national and international level through several initiatives and the EIT alumni communities.
