Overview

The Institute of Data Science (IDS) agglomerates, and further builds on, substantial strengths in data science and analytics in NUS. IDS coordinates and supports data science research initiatives across NUS.

Key facts

The value of the solutions that IDS can provide is through combining the expertise from multiple disciplines to tackle a problem well-roundedly from an all angles. In this way, solutions derived will actually be more superior than those derived singularly by each discipline.

IDS seeks to collaborate with industry partners to contribute to innovation and solutions across a diverse range of sectors, including industry, government, community services, and of course, education.With this PhD program, IDS aims to educate the next generation of “brain-heavy” data scientists.

This programme is jointly hosted by Institute of Data Science (IDS) & National University of Singapore Graduate School’s Integrative Sciences & Engineering Programme (ISEP)
