For more information about the courses offered for the PhD programme in Data Science (TS-DS), please visit the webpage of the programme. The formal learning opportunities will be flanked with a vigorous programme of online seminars (the “SISSA Data Science Seminar Series”, or SISSA DS 3 ), held approximately fortnightly from January 2021, with a focus on showcasing a young and diverse line-up of world-class speakers from all over the world. Further details will be published on this webpage.
Students from other PhD programmes who are interested in following our modules are requested to register their interest by filling out this form. This is for logistical (especially in view of COVID-19 restrictions to teaching spaces) and pedagogical reasons. Deadline is Fri Oct 2nd 2020.
Please, notice that MAMA PhD students can plan 33% of their credits (i.e. 50 hrs) from the courses listed below.
