STUDENT HONORS
Highly qualified students who have enrolled in the second year of the Master's Degree in Data Science are eligible for the student honors program. The annual call is generally issued in December to invite submissions by a set deadline (approximately one month from the date of the call).
The call for the student honors program is competitive, as it has a limited number of positions specified in the call. The students from the School for Advanced Studies also take part in the selection, as additional places are reserved for them. The eligibility criteria are detailed in the call and are generally based on the number of credits earned during the first academic year (all due CFU need to have been acquired for eligibility) as well as the weighted average grade.
The honors program requires a commitment in the range of 100-200 hours of additional work under the supervision of a faculty of the Data Science Master's Degree, assigned to the student, also in consideration of her/his preference.
The work includes a 20-hour class at the School of Advanced Studies, a 20-hour Data Science Ph.D. course, and a research training activity on one of the subjects that the assigned faculty proposes..
