LUISS Guido Carli
Deadline detail: March 1 (Round 2) — Rolling admissions
Course Overview
LUISS's MSc in Data Science and Management is a two-year, English-taught programme that pairs serious data-science methodology — statistical learning, deep learning, NLP, MLOps, big-data infrastructure — with the strategic management and ethics-of-AI framing that LUISS is known for. Faculty includes practitioners from Deloitte Italy, Accenture, Reply, ENEL X, and the Italian Statistical Institute (ISTAT).
Sri Lankan applicants with a BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or Management (Moratuwa, Colombo, Peradeniya, SLIIT, NSBM, NIBM, IIT, ICBT) are well-placed. LUISS's career office in Rome plumbs into UniCredit's data-science arm, Generali, Eni, Enel, and the Italian fintech scene, plus pan-European roles via Bain Italy, McKinsey Italy, and Deloitte. A semester abroad at Imperial College, BSE Barcelona, or Cornell Tech is available.
