Introduction
As technology advances, the ability to generate, capture and analyse data from a range of sources and for a range of applications is vital across numerous industries. Our MSc Data Science is designed to ensure you can apply critical mathematical thinking to various kinds of data, meaning that the degree will be of value in the financial, social, policy and commercial settings in the world of work.
The programme will cover data analysis, machine learning, and visualisation, as well as the necessary technical skills to thrive in the industry. You will also be equipped with the skills needed to stay abreast of changes in the field and to work in ways that are commercially, ethically, and legally appropriate.
You will begin by taking modules in programming, data analytic techniques and the fundamentals of mathematics for data science. These skills are then developed and applied in machine learning, data visualisation and data engineering, the three planks of data science. You will benefit from an emphasis on real world work flows and application of technique, using case studies and working with real data sets. You will then have a chance to consolidate and demonstrate the skills you have acquired throughout the year in your final project.
Our MSc Data Science follows an active blended learning style, with lectures replaced by videos and workshop/seminars. The aim is to provide you with an environment focused on collaborative learning, through the development of innovative studio-style lab spaces that feel like home. The lab material you will study will enable you to work in the studio environments that you will experience in the real-life working environments.
