MSc
Summary
Data Science is a rapidly growing specialism, with applications in business, government and science. In a wide range of situations, from banking to shopping, and from governmental bodies to the NHS, our everyday activities are leaving digital footprints and the world of work is being transformed.
There is a high demand for Data Scientists, people skilled in extracting meaning from data and being comfortable working across the disciplines of Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics, who are also able to integrate many streams of data to produce new, insightful syntheses.
Applications range from identifying customers’ buying patterns to tracking the spread of a disease, from monitoring expensive machinery to logging and improving an individual’s health.
Data Science is particularly appropriate as a focus for a generalist Masters degree in computing, providing opportunities for graduates of other disciplines to apply their new computing knowledge to their original field of study.
