Data science skills are now in huge demand across every field of science from particle physics to ecology, from drug design to climate change.

This course will equip you with the skills needed to solve data science questions in different fields of science, and to be agile enough to adapt to new fields and challenges as economic and scientific demands change.

You'll concentrate on the skills which data scientists apply on a daily basis to perform data analyses and to rigorously evaluate the results of those analyses, rather than focusing on theoretical bases or algorithmic structure. This approach will equip you with the skills to succeed even if you don't come from such a formal mathematical or computational background.

This course is led by the Department of Chemistry.

Careers and skills

This course will equip you with the scientific and professional skills that data scientists apply on a daily basis. You will learn to work across disciplines and to communicate with non-specialists, allowing you to move with the demands of the sector. Our course will prepare you for a range of science and science-adjacent data science jobs. Likely career destinations include science based industries such as the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, policy areas such as environment and health policy, as well as academic research.

You'll learn about different types of data, the ethical and practical issues of handling such data, and how to articulate these skills to employers. All of these skills will ensure you are able to work in diverse environments and different job markets.
