Course Overview

Data and information are recognised as central to the economic, business and cultural life of our society today. This course will equip you with the advanced information and analytic skills to thrive in the digital knowledge economy.

You could already be working and looking to enhance your expertise in data science. Alternatively, you may have recently graduated and want to move into roles specifically aligned with data science and analytics. We’ll help you develop a comprehensive understanding of the role of data within business.

As part of your course, you’ll:

  • Study data governance, considering how data can be sourced, consolidated and stored securely, responsibly and efficiently
  • Explore techniques used to analyse data
  • Discover how data can contribute to a company's business strategy
  • Focus on the application of data science in a specific field such as health, education or fraud prevention

Teaching and Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study.
