Upgrad as expected was always there to support- From the Student mentor to the Thesis supervisor, both were having discussion with me at the oddest of hour ensuring I was never at a standstill. The SME sessions and the sessions with professors from LJMU always helped with new perspectives. As I look back, the otherwise hectic journey of upskilling was a smooth one.

With a career spanning over 25 years, I took the plunge to become future ready with the Master’s degree program in Data Science from LJMU and upGrad. Since I have worked in the IT industry for most of my career but did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering, I was unable to find the right fit for a Master's program till I discovered upGrad. upGrad made my dream of pursuing a Master's come true.

As a working professional, upGrad felt like a convenient option. I like that it's full-time and rigorous even though it’s online. The beginning of my course was super fun, exciting and challenging. It felt like taking a walk back to my school days. The program also offers a lot of hands-on experience.

The program is designed for working professionals looking for a transition or growth into the data domain. Considering the requirements of different data roles in the industry, the curriculum is divided into 3 specializations. These three specializations will have a common curriculum running for approximately 5-6 months that everyone will go through after which they have to do two specialization courses and a capstone project in the remaining 6-7 months. The topics that are going to be covered as a part of the common curriculum and each of the three specializations are as follows:
Common Curriculum: Basics of SQL, Python, Statistics and EDA, Basic Machine Learning Models
Deep Learning Specialization: Advanced Machine Learning, Neural Networks
Data Engineering: Data Modelling and Data Warehousing, Building Data Pipelines, Data Streaming, and Processing
Data Analytics / Business Intelligence: Advanced SQL and NoSQL Databases, Storytelling with Advanced Visualization
This would be followed by 6 months Masters articulation from LJMU which would consist of Research Methodology and Masters Thesis under the supervision of subject matter expert.
