Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Data Science (Foundation Year) (D301)

The Data Science (Foundation Year) BSc route is the perfect opportunity for students to meet the necessary entry requirements to join the traditional three-year degree course. Completing the foundation year will see students join the students from the Data Science BSc, meaning students will graduate with the same title and award as those who studied the three-year course.

With modules covering mathematics, programming, an introduction to cyber security and more, this London Metropolitan University foundation year will put students well on the way to a career in this fascinating field.

Designed with students' interests and future in mind, they'll acquire practical data science skills, often developed by external organisations, which will prepare them for employment. Throughout the four years studying on the course, students will also be trained in the use of up-to-date software tools and environments currently used by the industry sector. This includes tools such as Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Oracle, SQL Server, Linux, Apache Airflow, RStudio, Python - Jupyter, Tableau, and D3 technology. Students will also find opportunities to learn from real-life case scenarios.
