MSc Data Science
Course Overview
Our MSc Data Science is a conversion masters, built for graduates from any academic background who want to move into one of the UK's fastest-growing, best-paid professions. You don't need a computing, maths or engineering degree to apply — you need curiosity, a lower second-class honours degree or above in any subject, and GCSE Maths at grade 4 (or equivalent). If you don't yet hold that, our GCSE Maths Equivalence course gets you there before you start. The course is designed to take you from wherever you're starting from to a confident, employable data professional, without cutting corners on academic rigour or industry relevance.
Key Program Highlights
- Genuinely open entry. Open to graduates of any discipline — arts, sciences, business or humanities — with a supported route in for those without a Maths GCSE, and an interview route for applicants with strong industry experience instead of a formal degree match.
- Research-informed teaching. Modules are taught by academics active in data science and AI research, including members of the University's Digital Innovations and Solution Centre, so what you learn reflects current industry and research practice, not a static syllabus.
- Built-in catch-up support. A dedicated, self-paced pre-course programme in fundamentals of maths and programming, available as soon as you enrol and backed by ongoing support throughout your studies.
- Flexible start dates. Study full-time over 15 months or part-time over 28 months, with four entry points a year (September, November, January and March) so you can start when it suits your career or personal circumstances.
- The Chartered Institute for IT (BCS) -accredited provision. University of Wolverhampton computing courses are accredited by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT — an external quality benchmark employers recognise.
