• MSc in Data Science will give you the skills to learn how to understand, in depth, the computational and statistical principles of modern data science and be skilled at the rigorous and ethical application of these techniques to real-world challenges.
  • The MSc in Data Science has been co-designed with industrial partners and is highly relevant to rewarding employment opportunities.
  • You will take either a unit in Software Development: Programming and Algorithms, or, if you already have software development skills, a unit in Statistical Computing.
  • The remainder of the MSc consists of the following units:
    • Large-Scale Data Engineering
    • Technology, Innovation, Business, and Society
    • Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
    • Introduction to Data Analytics
    • Advanced Data Analytics.
  • The final unit, a Data Science mini-project, is a group activity which will be aligned, wherever possible, with an external client.
  • To complete your studies, an individual research or implementation project can be chosen from a selection proposed by project supervisors.
  • This unit provides experience in planning, running, documenting, and presenting a substantial piece of original work.
  • This unit provides a substantial opportunity to integrate material from all taught units and demonstrate the breadth and depth of your learning on the MSc.
  • Graduates from this MSc will be keenly sought after in roles such as lead data scientists or lead data engineers, capable of critically evaluating and synthesising research literature, developing and deploying scalable data-processing systems, and communicating with others in their field and in other disciplines.
  • Top graduates from this degree will be able to proactively advance the development of data science and related technologies.
