Teaching 2025-2026

The Big Data Master’s Program is a full-time program delivered entirely online and lasting one year starting in November. The academic activities include two main phases: the first phase, covering the period from November to the end of July, is dedicated to lectures and project work; while the second phase, covering the period from August to December, is dedicated to a 425-hour internship that students will carry out with our partners.

The weekly teaching activity during the first phase is divided in lectures (wednesday to saturday) and lab hours (not mandatory) that allow student to experiment on the field the methods shown in the lectures with the support of the tutors. The steering committee has established that, in order to obtain the degree, each student is required to attend at least 70% of the total hours of lectures and laboratory sessions. The weekly teaching schedule is described in detail in the following images.

European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is the unit of measure of the volume of learning work, required to a student having an adeguated initial know-how,  for acquiring the knowledge and abilities required by a teaching activity. It is equivalent to 25 hour of work, including lectures, individual studies and other types of activities (like internship). Each teaching activity has an associated number of credits, that are assigned after an exam.

The teaching activity is supported by the Moodle platform, where students will find all the teaching material.
