I was not very much convinced with the quality of learning imparted through the various part-time online courses. But the need for up-skilling was inevitable for me to sustain and grow in my career. Due to my professional as well as personal commitments, the only option was to make my learning and profession go hand in hand. With the support of upGrad, I have witnessed an exciting journey for the past 2 years upskilling myself with the latest technology and gaining my Masters in Data Science.

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.

4. Which topics are going to be covered as part of the program?
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 five 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
Natural Language Processing Specialization: Advanced Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing
Business Analytics Specialization: Advanced Machine Learning, Storytelling and Advanced Business Problem Solving
Business Intelligence/Data Analytics: Advanced SQL and NoSQL Databases, Storytelling with Advanced Visualization
Deep Learning Specialization: Advanced Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing
Data Engineering: Data Modelling and Data Warehousing, Building Data Pipelines, Data Streaming, and Processing
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.
