Master of Science Program in Data Analytics and Data Science (DADS)
Master of Science Program in Data Analytics and Data Science (DADS)
The Master of Science Program in Data Analytics and Data Science (Revised Program B.E. 2564) has been revised from the Master of Science in Business Analysis and Data Science (Revised Program B.E. 2563). This has resulted from the rapid changes and difficult predications in politics, economy, society, disasters and illnesses in the era that information technology is widely used. This leads to a creation of massive data, which is crucial to learning, understanding, analyzing and managing of the data in the most systematic and useful manner. Additionally, this is to strengthen the field of data analysis and data science, which is the identity of the Institute to be better in line with the notion of King Rama IX who established the Institute and particularly the Graduate School of Applied Statistics. In his vision, national development would require data and scientific knowledge. Thus, the objective of this program is to produce personnel for the country in response to the royal initiative on establishing the National Institute of Development Administration.
