Overview

The Professional Doctorate in Data Science (D. DataSc) is aimed at professionals who wish to enhance and/or validate data-centric, evidence-based approaches within their chosen career through a combination of taught modules and doctoral research.

The programme is delivered:

  • Full-time, three years: one year of taught modules and two years of research
  • Part-time, five years: two years of taught modules and three years of research

A cross-disciplinary approach is central to the delivery of this programme and is therefore suitable for professionals in a broad range of professional disciplines and areas of employment.

The ability to take data - to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it - that's going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades." (Hal Varian, Chief Economist at Google).

The programme is unique, international, and ground-breaking in offering a Professional Doctorate qualification in Data Science. D. DataSc is an earned doctorate that allows the holder to use the title 'Dr'.
