The Massive Open Online Courses platform at Técnico, MOOC Técnico, relaunched two online courses on Data Science: Data Science: KDD Process and Data Science: classification. The two courses are especially aimed at graduates, professionals or master’s students, who want to embark on a path as a data scientist.

Data Science, as a paradigmatic application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, is now a key part of the 4th industrial revolution. Many are the opportunities for those who have fundamental knowledge in this area, since the job offer in Data Science in recent years has skyrocketed.
