Advances in computer science allows to collect and store more data than ever before. However, making sense of all of this data is a challenge. The MSc in Data Science will give students the skills to address these challenges through the use of computation.
How do people use algorithms responsibly, ethically and legally? How do people visualise the results? In the very near future, most commercial and governmental organisations will depend on their ability to meet these challenges.
This Data Science Masters/MSc has been designed to get people from a variety of academic backgrounds up to speed with the state-of-the-art in data science. Students will learn programming and data management skills so that students can collect and manipulate data, advanced techniques for analysing and revealing patterns in data, and visualisation skills so that they can turn large data sets into something decision-makers can make sense of.
Students will study six, 20-credit fundamental compulsory modules and a 60-credit data science project. Students will come to understand the cutting-edge contemporary challenges in data science and in a 20-credit group project they will try solving them through collaboration, and then complete a substantial individual project during which they will be able to showcase what they have learned.
By the end of the programme, students will be ready to apply their knowledge to help organisations understand the huge amounts of data they collect every day.
