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:
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'.
Students need to have a minimum 2.1 Honours in Physical Science, Electrical/Electronic/Communication Engineering or Humanities and Social Science related subject. We would normally expect you to have Grade C in GCSE English and Maths. Applicants are required to have relevant Work Experience.
