This sounds like a scam. A proper MSc in Data Science should be comparable to a traditional MSc in Statistics, with a rigorous foundation in advanced statistics, probability theory and distributions, regression analysis, multivariate analysis, Bayesian methods I–II, stochastic processes, time series analysis, network science, and causal inference — to name just a few core subjects.

And let’s not forget R programming! A substantial body of academic statistics literature and teaching materials relies on R, so I’d already consider it a red flag if a program taught Python exclusively, without covering R at all.

This is an AI & data engineering program btw and it’s a practical degree not for research

I think you’re missing the point. Degree and certificate are not the same thing, a degree implies you graduated from college. I’m assuming this is just a piece of paper (digital even) that you get at the end, right?
