Program Details — Data Science and Applied Analytics

With the volume, diversity and complexity of data increasing dramatically, organisations face the challenge of making sense of data to inform business decisions. The MSc Data Science and Applied Analytics develops graduates who understand approaches to designing data science tools, their implementation and evaluation, analytical aspects of big data, and their importance to businesses and the public sector. It combines taught content (programming, data science), in-depth case studies, and technology development, with a strong focus on practical hands-on skills, plus an optional Professional Practice placement module.

A minimum UK 2:2 degree or equivalent plus GCSE Maths A*-C, or evidence of a Maths component graded at a minimum of 50% as part of the degree (a 2:2 in a STEM subject also satisfies the Maths element). International students: IELTS 6.0 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in each element. Programme Leader: Dr Miao Yu.

Eligibility details will be added soon.
