Supplementary programme Data Literacy

Digitalization has been bringing about a social change that also affects and permanently alters individual everyday experience. We are increasingly coming into contact with algorithmically made decisions; processes of machine learning and artificial intelligence will influence our lives more and more. This development will present society and the individual with very special challenges.

The University of Bayreuth will prepare its students for these and future challenges starting in Winter Semester 2021/22: In October 2021, the interdisciplinary supplementary programme Data Literacy will start.

In the programme Data Literacy, students acquire the knowledge and skills to collect, manage, analyse, and apply data in a critical way.
