Our Summer/Winter Schools last 1 ­ 6 weeks and take place during the lecture free period at different partner univer­
sities in France, India and the United States of America. Each session covers one field of practice in Data Science.
Through company visits and on­site practicums, students gain insight and experience around the innovative app­
lications of data science in fields including health analytics, smart cities, financial services, and the supply chain.
Depending on the period of exams at the ZHAW, the schools take place in week 5/6/7 or 6/7/8 (Winter School) and
summer 26/27 or 27/28 (Summer School). The schools are designed both to develop a practical knowledge and skills
in the field of Data Science and to help the participants understand the context of working internationally and are thus
ideal complements to the modules offered on campus. The curriculum of each session is unique so that it is possible
to combine two schools during the master study program. Each session requires a minimum number of twenty parti­
cipants.
