This course (previously Business Intelligence and Analytics MSc) addresses the need to propel information-gathering and data organisation, and exploit potential information and knowledge hidden in routinely collected data to improve decision-making. The course stretches the artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and decision science themes to business intelligence, data science and business analytics.
Students will focus on developing solutions to real-world problems associated with the changing nature of IT infrastructure and increasing volumes of data, using applications and case studies, while gaining a deep appreciation of the underlying models and techniques. Students will also gain a greater understanding of the impact technological advances have on nature and practices adopted within data science, business intelligence and analytics, and how to adapt to these changes.
Embedded into the course are two key themes. The first will help students to develop their skills in the use and application of various technologies, architectures, techniques, tools, and methods for data science. These include data warehousing and mining, distributed data management, and the technologies, architectures, and appropriate AI and ML techniques. The second theme will enhance student's knowledge of algorithms and the quantitative techniques including AI, ML, and Operational Research (OR) suitable for analysing and mining data and developing decision models in a broad range of application areas. The project consolidates the taught subjects covered, while giving students the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in their chosen area.
Teaching approaches include lectures, tutorials, seminars, and practical sessions. Students will also learn through extensive coursework, class presentations, group research work, and the use of a range of industry-standard software such as R, Python, Simul8, Palisade Decision Tools, Tableau, and Oracle.
Modules are typically assessed through practical coursework, which may also include an in-class test.
