An exciting and challenging degree, the MSc in Data Science and Analytics will equip you with the skills to think logically, solve complex problems, and harness both predictive and prescriptive analytics to turn evidence into better decisions. You’ll learn how to work from messy real-world data through to actionable insight, developing the confidence to justify recommendations and communicate them effectively to stakeholders.
Designed as a conversion programme, the course builds a strong theoretical base in core in-demand technical skills, alongside practical experience of applying data science and analytics methods to real problems across business, government, and society. Graduates with data science and analytics expertise are in high demand across many sectors, including finance, healthcare, security, and manufacturing.
Transferable skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and communication will be developed throughout the programme, such as working on applied projects, use of real-data sets and an exciting opportunity to work directly with an industry or government partner for three months during the independent research project (dissertation) stage. These experiences will showcase your ability to deliver innovative, applied solutions, giving you a competitive edge in the job market or a strong foundation for further study. Graduates are well prepared for roles such as Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Data Engineer, Operational Researcher and AI Engineer.
