Course Overview

This postgraduate master's course is uniquely designed for both computing and non-computing graduates wishing to pursue a career in the data science community.

MSc Data Science is ideally placed to provide you with the technical knowledge and employer-focused skills required in a data scientist role. The course will develop your specialist knowledge of data acquisition, data cleansing, data analysis, information extraction, prediction, visualization, story-telling, and explanation.
