Data Science

Summary

Data science plays a vital role in all aspects of the modern world. Our programme will ensure you have a strong foundation in this rapidly expanding, highly in-demand field to achieve your career aspirations.

Our programme delivers a broad yet rigorous grounding in computer science and statistics, adopting theoretical and practical learning approaches. You will gain cutting-edge knowledge and skills through state-of-the-art equipment and excellent teaching offered by the School of Computing and Communications and the School of Mathematical Sciences.

This engaging programme and our reputation for excellence in research means that you will receive high-quality teaching delivered by academics who are experts in their field. Throughout the three years, you will develop discipline-specific skills and gain specialist knowledge to prepare you for your chosen career.

Course structure

During your first year, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of computer science and simultaneously develop your knowledge and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts. Bringing these two fields together into data science fundamentals will enhance your data analysis, problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills.

In the second year, you will further deepen your knowledge of linear algebra, probability, and statistics and your foundational understanding of programming and software design skills. While studying these topics, you will complete our Project Skills module, which will allow you to enhance your research and employment skills through individual and group projects designed for data scientists. This will give you experience in approaching a data science problem in the real world.

Your final year will allow you to specialise in a range of enriching research-informed optional modules and undertake a substantial data science individual project. In this project, you will work closely with one of our academics, expand your problem-solving abilities, and draw upon the skills and knowledge you have gained throughout your degree. This will be a great experience for you to draw upon in an interview and your career.

We are working to satisfy the emerging requirements for Data Science accreditation as defined by the appropriate professional bodies (such as the British Computer Society and the Royal Statistical Society).
