The Data Science programme at Krea is intended to be a rigorous program with an interdisciplinary flavour. The core courses have been designed to impart the necessary programming, computational, mathematical, and data-analytical skills to the students. The elective courses confer the necessary domain knowledge and enables students to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge learned through the required courses in a diverse set of domains. Additionally, the undergraduate programme in Data Science incorporates cutting edge tools and techniques employed by the industry. The courses are primarily project-based and provide students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience by analysing real-world data sets using various sophisticated tools for modeling, optimisation, data mining, and visualisation. Lastly, students are trained to conceive data through multiple branches of sciences and humanities that would play a vital role in approaching various interdisciplinary problems.

One of the distinguishing aspects of our interdisciplinary programme is the opportunity for our students to work with faculty and domain experts to build on solid analytical and conceptual foundations of computer science, statistics, and mathematics subjects to solve some real-world problems relevant to society. This is primarily driven by a research-based Capstone project in their final year, where students apply various artificial intelligence tools and techniques to solve some of the vital problems in computational sciences, business, social sciences and humanities.
