Summary
The world is full of data, from global banks to Formula 1 teams, supermarkets and the United Nations. Data scientists ask and answer questions like what happened, why it happened, what will happen, and what can be done with the results. With this Data Science conversion course, you'll be able to move onto one of our specialist MSc courses, fast-tracking you into your dream career.
Data scientists use principles and practices from the fields of mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence, and computer engineering, to analyse and generate meaning from data. At Kent, you're taught how to apply cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning methods, and how to make sense of the text data that is all around us.
Taught by experts in the field, you'll use real-world data to learn the technical, practical and transferrable skills needed to be a successful data scientist. This conversion course is designed for those with limited previous knowledge of data science, statistics and computing: you don't need a background in the subject as we start with the foundations of data science theory.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning innovations have made data processing faster and more efficient. Industry demand has created job positions in organisations around the world within the field of data science. Due to the skillset and expertise required, this looks likely to continue over the coming decades.
