This course produces computational and mathematical engineers with a focused specialism in data science, equipped to make significant contributions to their career field and society as a whole. The course builds upon your existing skills in computer science (coding, cloud computing, basic machine learning) and mathematics (linear algebra, probability, statistics and calculus). It will develop your training in the field of data science and allow advanced study into a range of specialised domains such as autonomous systems, computer vision, user experience, and advanced software engineering. Your study is underpinned by three integrated strands which develop mathematical foundations, computational thinking, and engineering skills. It is the holistic combination of these three areas that make graduates attractive to employers. You'll develop the technical skills needed to critically analyse, mine, and manage different kinds of data in order to learn and discover interesting patterns. The course teaches you how to make actionable conclusions from those assessments, while participating effectively in multidisciplinary teams. You'll also benefit and learn from the Department's expertise in trustworthy systems. Your study culminates in a focused research project in the field of data science which develops the skills to contribute professionally to solving complex commercial and industrial engineering problems.
