Course Overview

Master big data methodologies and find the valuable trends and patterns buried in complex datasets using machine learning. On our MSc Data Analytics course, you'll learn how to use data mining tools, machine learning methods and big data concepts as you unlock specialist knowledge of professional analysis methods.

You'll apply your theoretical learning to handling real data, analysing large data sets drawn from professional partners, such as IBM, or from live University research into cosmology, health informatics and cybersecurity and robotics.

You'll plan, design and produce an in-depth research project, using analytics packages like Hadoop, Python, KNIME, PostgreSQL and Tableau. We'll provide the expertise and support so you can develop your dissertation and shape your professional practice. And once you graduate, you'll have a skillset that'll get you noticed – and all the tools you need to progress your career in data analytics or deep learning.
