Data Science MSc

Data science has the potential to change the way we’ll live in the future by solving or offering insights into many of the largest problems of today.<br/><br/>On this dynamic course, you’ll learn advanced coding skills to develop state-of-the-art machine learning approaches for AI products and services. You’ll then use these technologies to solve real-world problems relevant to your existing knowledge and expertise.<br/><br/>You’ll create intelligent models which can predict future outcomes based on past data, generate artwork, or give you incredible insight into hard-to-find connections within your datasets.<br/><br/>Working with data from industries at the forefront of data science today, like biomedicine, finance and social media, you’ll gain a deep understanding of data flows within organisations and systems, and how huge amounts of data can be engineered to produce knowledge.<br/><br/>**Study Style**<br/>You’ll learn through practical work and assignments to understand mathematical foundations of statistics, data mining and machine learning. Some more traditional teaching will take place too, but always with a practical focus and tasks designed for you to apply your learning. You’ll start out with the basics, before progressing towards the answers to questions you didn’t know you had.<br/><br/>As you learn you’ll be working with industry-standard software and hardware in our specialist labs – alongside students and subject specialists from both creative and technical computing backgrounds – giving you huge opportunities to build networks with the sector-leaders of the future.<br/><br/>With guidance from industry experts, you’ll put your skills to the test using real-world data to analyse trends in social media, make financial predictions, and extract musical information from audio files.
