A Course-Based Master Program in Data Science (with emphasis on Mathematical Modeling) at the University of Alberta

The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences’ Course-Based Master Program in Modeling, Data and Predictions (MDP) is rapidly becoming one of Canada’s leading Data Science programs.

The MDP Program is an innovative training program that prepares students for data-science related careers in industry and government.

The MDP program is designed to provide skills in data modeling (mathematical, statistical and machine-learning modeling), data analytics, programming and computation. The program also provides industrial internship opportunities and professional development workshops to help students learn important soft skills for the workspace.

The MDP Program is a professional Master program without the higher tuition for professional degree programs.

The application for Fall 2027 admission opened in October 2026. Positions are limited, and we encourage interested students to apply early.
