[Purpose/significance] This paper combed and analyzed the relevant research on the data scientist competency systems abroad to provide reference for building the competency system of data scientists, and be helpful to improve the efficiency of data science personnel cultivation and to meet the needs of data scientist's career development. [Method/process] The paper selected the typical data science research results of the major countries (regions), analyzed the competency elements, discussed the current research methods of the data scientist competency systems abroad, data scientist career access conditions, and the impact of information environment changes on data scientist competencies. [Result/conclusion] The construction of foreign data scientist competency system is worth learning from.It is suggested that China should build data scientist competency framework as soon as possible to clarify the training objectives and career development path. Through the top-level design, multi-party cooperation, strengthen the data science professional personnel training; emphasis both on theoretical knowledge and practical ability, pay attention to data scientists skills expansion.
