Summary

Globally, the need for data scientists has grown at a faster rate than those qualified with the required skills. Professionals with the right expertise in data analytics use cutting edge technologies to turn data into valuable knowledge. As data is being used increasingly to personalise, aggregate, and measure our everyday experiences, there is also a growing need for those who can develop such systems in a responsible and ethical manner. By studying this Master’s Programme, you will be perfectly positioned to meet this demand.

You will learn how to use various models, methods, tools and techniques to convert data into information and knowledge that can be understood by non- specialists, in order to make informed decisions for governments, companies, and other organisations-based on facts, statistical numbers and trends.

This will be enhanced by developing your knowledge of interdisciplinary skills and statistics, software programming, and using modern data analysis and visualisation technologies.

KEY COURSE FEATURES This course is designed as a conversion Masters which will provide you with opportunity, regardless of your previous subject area, to pursue a career in Data Science. Learning and teaching will help you pave a wealth of skills, knowledge, tools and technology to ensure a smooth transition into this specialist area.
