The MSc Data Science is a conversion course for graduates from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds looking to pursue a career, or upskill, in this new and rapidly developing field. Data Scientists are in short supply and there is high demand for data science skills across sectors including business, government, healthcare, science, finance, and marketing.

• working with databases
• statistical thinking
• programming in high-level languages
• modelling
• applying data science tools and packages
• machine learning
• data visualisation
