MSc Data Science

Due to high demand, the September 2022 entry point for this programme has now closed to new international applications. Any applications received after 10th June 2022 will be considered for the next available entry point. January 2023 entry for this programme is not running. We expect the January entry option to be available in January 2024. The MSc in Data Science gives you a solid grounding in data science concepts and technologies for extracting information and constructing knowledge from data. This course focuses on three core technical themes of data mining, machine learning, and visualisation. You study computational principles, methods, and systems for a variety of real-world applications that require mathematical foundations, programming skills, critical thinking, and ingenuity. Our £32.5m Computational Foundry lies at the heart of this course. Sophisticated teaching and research equipment include a Vision and Biometric Lab, a Maker Lab, a Theory Lab, a Cyber Security/Networking Lab, a User Lab and a Visualisation Suite. With large data sets now available across almost all industry sectors, there is an increasingly high demand for innovative new technologies and skilled data scientists.
