Data science brings together computational and statistical skills for data-driven problem solving. This programme will equip students with the analytical tools to design sophisticated technical solutions using modern computational methods and with an emphasis on rigorous statistical thinking. The programme combines training in core statistical and machine learning methodology, beginning at an introductory level, with a range of optional modules covering more specialised knowledge in statistical computing and modelling. Students will take one compulsory module and up to two additional modules in computer science, with the remaining modules (including the research project) taken mainly from within statistical science.
