Do you always trust AI? You’re likely aware that data applications can backfire when it comes to privacy, legislation, energy use, or societal impact. Here, you’ll learn to embed reliability, ethics, responsibility, and proactive risk management into your designs from the very start. We call this responsible data science by design.

The MSc in Responsible Data Science is about more than just technical skills. It’s about making informed choices: How do you prevent bias in algorithms? How do you protect privacy? And how can data be used to create a better world? In this master’s, you’ll combine technical expertise with ethical, legal, and societal insights. You’ll build safer applications with transparent algorithms and safeguards to correct errors. You’ll become the data scientist the world needs!

Responsible Data Science is about:

• Bias mitigation in AI decision-making

• Energy efficiency of large language models

• Data quality assurance

• Privacy-preserving medical data exchange

• Digital sovereignty
