Introduction

A degree with a future, for all those who create knowledge from data

Are you wondering how new business ideas are created from data? What do these business models actually look like? Most importantly, how can precise predictions and reliable future forecasts be made on the basis of gathered information? What do these business models even look like? And what does this mean for their growth?

What effect does this have on product design, quality assurance, employee development and marketing? Above all, what does this mean for customers? Do you want to know how these data are collected, processed and analyzed? And what is Big Data all about?

Which methods and tools are being used? Which legal and ethical questions need to be considered within data science projects? Are you thinking of how data sources can be used to create innovations and new market-driven products or services? What processes are involved?

Similarly, which rules of the game have to be taken into account? What is machine learning, a subarea of artificial intelligence, and how does it actually work? In which sectors is machine learning being used today?

Where does the potential lie for tomorrow and in the future? In which areas is machine learning used today? Where are the potentials of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

Our bachelor’s degree in Data Science offers explorers like you not only answers to your questions, but a springboard to build the knowledge and skills to stay one step ahead of the future. Data Scientist is one of the most sought-after professions of the 21st century. Interested studying the Bachelor in Data Science at XU Exponential University? Do you want to study with a future?

A new time needs a new university

If digitisation and innovative technologies are changing our society, if the future of work depends on new digital skills and if whole sectors of the economy are in upheaval – shouldn’t our education system also change and provide answers?

We think so

The XU Exponential University near Berlin is Germany’s first university that focuses exclusively on digitization and technology. At Studio Five on the premises of Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam, we have created a place that focuses specifically on the training, promotion and networking of future heroes* of digital change. Our university in Potsdam is the perfect place for you!

We are officially recognized

The XU Exponential University of Applied Sciences was officially recognized by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Culture of the state of Brandenburg in 2018. The accreditation was carried out by the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA), which confirmed the development of sustainable and innovative study programmes to the university as part of the accreditation process.

How you can benefit from our innovative, digital teaching offers

Whether communication, production, trade or the world of work: the digital transformation has arrived almost everywhere. Only the universities and colleges follow this development only hesitantly. There is still little awareness of digital change, the need for lifelong learning and digital literacy. The consequence of this unwillingness to change and the lack of technical resources is a teaching offer that is no longer up to date.

We do things differently.

As a university for digitisation, we see it as our task to reinvent ourselves again and again. We not only offer you an apprenticeship with a fixed degree – we also prepare you in the best possible way for the various challenges in technology, business and research. At the XU Exponential University near Berlin, you get access to global knowledge and the chance to further your education – interactively and practically.
