Summary
Data scientists are responsible for the handling of raw data, analysing it, identifying patterns and presenting insights in a manner that is useful for forecasting and predicting business problems. The data science field uses mathematics, statistics, machine learning, a range of computer science disciplines and a common toolset such as Python, SQL, and R.
Data scientists are in high demand as government departments and leading companies realise the importance of big data and its applications to developing successful strategies in their decision making or business relations.
You gain technical and critical thinking skills in applying knowledge of data science to real-world problems, and learn fundamentals of software for digital innovation, applied machine learning, big data and business intelligence, interactive visualisation of data, and applications. You explore professional, ethical, security and social implications of future data science technologies, and gain a range of transferable skills to progress into industry.
Progressing from almost any first degree discipline, you gain leading-edge skills, solid programming experience, research expertise and optional industry experience to enter this field and rapidly expanding job market.
We prepare you for a career in industry. In addition to your taught classes, we create opportunities for you to meet and network with our industry partners through events such as our ExpoSeries, which showcases student work to industry. ExpoTees is the pinnacle of the ExpoSeries with businesses from across the UK coming to the campus to meet our exceptional students, with a view to recruitment.
The increasing need to leverage big data has motivated many industries to hire data scientists to predict the outcomes and provide meaningful interpretations. Companies hiring data science professionals include American Express, AstraZeneca, BBC, IBM, Mastercard, Rolls Royce, Space Ape Games, Warner Bros. Entertainment, WhatsApp, plus many more.
Graduates can expect to find employment in one of the increasing number of sectors needing specialists equipped with the cutting-edge expertise in financial and digital technologies.
According to itjobswatch.co.uk, the median salary in the UK for data science professionals is £65k but the top 10% can earn upwards of £100k.
