Qurat-ul-ain Azim, MDS Vancouver, Class of 2023
“The UBC MDS program stood out for many reasons. UBC’s prestige, the breadth of topics covered in the MDS curriculum, and the 10-month duration were on the top of my list.”
Previous Degree: Doctor of Philosophy – PhD. Applied Mathematics from the Imperial College London
Program: MDS Vancouver, Class of 2023
Due to my training in mathematics, I always used to do numbers and analytical work. My work involved looking at applicable problems from a math perspective, and I kept thinking of shifting the lens where I do applications that leveraged math and analytical skills. Data Science was a perfect combination of numbers, analysis and amazing applications that really make a real-world difference.
