This course is suitable for numerate graduates across many disciplines. Non-computing graduates are eligible.

You will learn how to use state-of-the-art computer science methods to process a range of data, including (but not limited to) big data. You will develop technical, statistical, analytical and data mining skills. The course incorporates methods of statistical analysis and data mining to extract understanding from data, formulate high-quality data models and interpret them to ‘tell a story’. You will learn how to communicate these effectively to stakeholders, bearing in mind ethical, legal and societal implications.

You will be introduced to data science concepts, techniques and algorithms for processing and visualising datasets so as to infer useful, actionable knowledge.
