Gain skills in demand by global, commercial, financial and research institutions.
This course covers a mix of practical and theoretical topics essential to careers in many data-driven sectors. You will learn how to approach real-world data problems and to apply your skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and analysis.
The Data Science course is an online self-paced programme, with options to study for MSc, PGCert and PGDip.
For entry onto the MSc: A 2.1 undergraduate Honours degree in any subject from the UK or the equivalent international qualification. If you studied your first degree outside the UK, see the international entry requirements.
We will also consider applicants who do not have an undergraduate degree. In these circumstances we expect candidates to have at least five years of relevant professional learning. The Admissions team will holistically assess your application and determine the best route of entry for you. In some cases, this may be onto the PGCert in the first instance, from which students who attain a certain level in their modules will have the opportunity to progress to a full Masters degree.
