Summary
There has never been a time where so much data has been available in conjunction with the tools to make the most of it, these tools constitute the field of data science. There has also, never been a time with so many global challenges to tackle, from the shortage of resource and the impact we have on the environment to the strive to automate and optimise a variety of systems such as transport, energy, health and communication. There are almost limitless opportunities to use these tools in the various domains and applications for making real impact on industry, society and policy making.
This course is for you if you want to use your mathematical and numerical skills to embark on a career in data science and its application. During the course you will develop the necessary analytical and computational skills alongside an informed and critical appreciation of scientific and industrial developments in data.
What you’ll learn
You will gain a thorough grounding in the fundamental concepts of data science to understand the data life cycle, including problem formulation, data collection and cleaning, exploratory data analysis and visualisation, statistical inference and decision making. Additionally, you will have the chance to apply your knowledge in a research project on a subject of your choice.
This course is also available to start in January 2024 - Please see our application link below to apply.
