After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• understand and explain the terminology of the selected discipline,
  understand the multitude of challenges in applying data science methodologies in the selected domain
• name and explain the tasks, data types and tools of the selected discipline
• process and analyze data in the selected specialization domain,
  select appropriate methods based on the data requirements,
  apply  these methods to real data, and develop solutions for domain-specific tasks.

The domain-specific lecture is part of the corresponding module in the Data Science curriculum and forms a thematic block together with the lecture series 194.046 Interdisciplinary Lecture Series on Data Science, as well as the project course 194.047 Interdisciplinary Project in Data Science.

The domain-specific LVA, to be selected from the list below, forms the basis for the work in the corresponding interdisciplinary project. Therefore, this course should ideally be completed before, or possibly during, the corresponding project.

For courses on the list below, the certificate issued for the course itself must be submitted to the Dekanat when completing your studies. It is not necessary to take any further steps to get one of these courses recognised as "Domain-Specific Lectures in Data Science".

Further lectures will be added in alignment with the Interdisciplinary Lecture Series in Data  Science (194.046) These will likely include (provisional announcement)

• <...>

The selection of the respective lecture must align with the topic chosen for the course 194.047 Interdisziplinary Project in Data Science.

Contents are presented in lectures and may be elaborated by students in accompanying exercises.  In addition, the students may have to solve homework and larger case studies alone or in groups. If necessary,  appropriate tools are used.

In order to take a course at another university, you generally need to complete a "Mitbelegung" form and have it signed by the Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs. Below are links to the instructions for various universities:

• University of Vienna
• BOKU
• WU
• Med. Uni. Wien

The assessment is based on written tests, continuous evaluation as part of exercises, as well as by the evaluation of assignments and/or presentations. Details are available in the respective course descriptions.
