MSc Data Science

Our Data Science MSc will provide you with the ability to explore data insights to ensure organizations are making the most out of their data. You will develop knowledge insight from a variety of structured and unstructured data, using a range of data analysis methods, processes, algorithms, and systems. The course provides a greater understanding of Big Data and Cloud computing and will equip you with the skills needed to tackle realistic Big Data problems. You will use principal machine learning methods, advanced database technologies, data visualization techniques, and statistical approaches to apply modern, analytical, and statistical techniques to business data - combining both theoretical and practical approaches. You will also become equipped with programming skills in Python and R for effective, efficient, statistical data analysis. This course is suited to those who have an undergraduate degree in computing/information sciences or mathematical and statistical disciplines with applied computing components. It is ideal for graduates who wish to advance their careers by becoming data scientists. Alternatively, those with a considerable computing background in an industrial / business setting are suitable applicants.

A minimum of a 2:2 honors degree (or equivalent) in a quantitative subject such as computer/information science, engineering, maths, statistics, or a related discipline (e.g. IT, software engineering). Other subject qualifications, equivalent professional qualifications, and/or relevant work experience will be considered on an individual basis.
