Abstract
We are producing data at an incredible rate, fueled by the increasing ubiquity of the Web, and stoked by social media, sensors, and mobile devices. The current rapid development in the field of Big Data brings a new approach to education. The amount of produced data continues to increase, so does the demand for practitioners who have the necessary skills to manage and manipulate this data. Reflecting the call for new knowledge and skills required from Graduates of the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, the study program Data Science is being prepared. The first step is to ensure the quality of highly professional training program, the faculty started the co-operation with IBM in 2015. On the basis of experience with the BigData EduCloud program, the new study program Data Science is being prepared.
