The MSc Data Science programme is designed to prepare students from diverse backgrounds, including non-computing backgrounds, for employment within Data Science teams or for further academic study in the field. It aims to establish a strong foundation in the design and development of computer software, alongside the mathematical language, concepts, and theories necessary to understand the methods, algorithms, and theoretical aspects of Data Science, independent of current tools and technologies. The programme also builds deep knowledge in core areas such as machine learning and Big Data, while developing professional, practical, and analytical skills across the data science project lifecycle. This includes the ability to model and analyse data of various types and scales using modern Data Science tools and technologies.
