About Master of Science - Data Science
Data is the currency of all but the most theoretically-based scientific research, and it also underpins our modern world, from the flow of data across international banking networks and the spread of memes across social networks, to the complex models of weather forecasting.
The constant generation of data from our digital society feeds into our everyday lives, affecting how we receive healthcare to influencing our shopping habits. In order to handle, make sense of, and exploit large volumes of available data requires highly skilled human insight, analysis and visualization.
The professionals working in this field are called ‘data scientists’, who blend advanced mathematical and statistical skills with programming, database design, machine learning, modelling, simulation and innovative data visualization. These professionals are in high demand in both public and private sectors in the UK and worldwide.
MSc Data Science programme aims and learning outcomes are built around two guiding principles:
- To provide comprehensive understanding of the fundamental mathematical and statistical concepts underlying data science, and how they are implemented in algorithms and machine learning techniques to solve a variety of data processing and analysis problems.
- To provide training in the practical skills relevant to data science, central of which is the ability to write clean and efficient code in industry-recognised languages (in particular, Python and R), but also includes data handling, manipulation, mining and visualization techniques.
Students have an option to take a one-year paid industry placement. Previous students have had placements with organizations including NatWest, Sparta Global, and Sky. Moreover, learners can benefit from University's strong links with the computing industry like Microsoft and Hewlett Packard.
