MSc Data Science and Big Data Analytics

As data is being used increasingly to personalise, aggregate, and measure our everyday experiences, there is also a growing need for those who can develop such systems in a responsible and ethical manner. By studying this Master’s Programme, you will be perfectly positioned to meet this demand.

You will learn how to use various models, methods, tools and techniques to convert data into information and knowledge that can be understood by non-specialists, in order to make informed decisions for governments, companies, and other organisations-based on facts, statistical numbers and trends.

Your learning experience will be enhanced by developing your knowledge of interdisciplinary skills and statistics, software programming, and using modern data analysis and visualisation technologies.

The standard entry requirements for the MSc Data Science and Big Data Analytics programme is an Honours Degree of at least 2:2 classification, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard in a subject other than Computer Science. In some cases, applicants with substantial commercial or industrial experience can be accepted, subject to interview and references.
