Description
An MSc in Data Science will provide you with the practical skills needed to effectively assemble, collate, store, manage and retrieve data required for data science projects and the critical judgement to decide the appropriate statistical and computational data exploration or analysis techniques to evaluate data science activities and projects.
Course purpose
The purpose of this degree programme is to train graduates from quantitative disciplines or with relevant quantitative work experience in current methods and techniques of data science, particularly the science of large-scale data collections. These methods and techniques include both computational techniques and methods from mathematical statistics. The MSc will also provide you with an appreciation for the professional, ethical and legal responsibilities of the data scientist, along with standard conceptual or scientific models in at least one domain of application of data science. Your individual project will typically aim to apply these methods to a problem in a specific application domain, and provide valuable preparation for a career in research or industry.
