UCA is launching its first two-year MSc in Economics and Data Science in Bishkek, combining economics, data analysis, programming, and public policy. The two-year programme is designed to equip students with the economic knowledge, analytical, and technical skills needed to make informed decisions in a rapidly changing world. "The programme aims to help develop a new generation of specialists capable of addressing the complex economic and social challenges facing Central Asia. Our goal is not only to train specialists with strong technical knowledge, but also to develop professionals who can responsibly and effectively apply their knowledge in practice. This is an important step in UCA's development as we expand our graduate program and build a broader portfolio of programs aimed at developing knowledge, skills, and leadership potential in Central Asia," noted Professor Christopher Gerry, Rector of the University of Central Asia.
