Our study brings together foundational computer scientists skills such as algorithmic thinking and programming with fundamental data scientist skills such as statistical analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, analytics and visual analytics. This is a powerful combination – data scientists having both of these skills will not only master using existing solutions but will also be capable of building innovative data science solutions tailored for the needs of the application at hand.

Our four-year undergraduate MSci Data Science programme builds on the success and reputation of our MSc in Data Science degree course that has been already running for a number of years and is a renown data analytics course in London.

The MSci programme distinguishes itself from the MSc with its focus on building strong foundations in Computer Science as well as equipping students with comprehensive Data Science skills. In addition to data science specific know-how, MSci students will learn distinguishing computer science skills such as software design and development, working as part of a development team, and an understanding of professional issues in information technologies.
