Statistical Data Science lies at the heart of contemporary data analytics. It transforms data into useful decision-making and helps solve complex problems in a broad range of industries.
Our BSc in Statistical Data Science covers both the theory and practical parts of modern statistics. It provides comprehensive training and hands-on experience in modelling, analysing, and understanding real-world data. This kind of data is crucial in the fields of the economy, industry, and research.
The early years of the degree cover basic mathematics, probability, and statistics. The final years focus on advanced specialist topics in statistical modelling, data science, machine learning, probability, and stochastic processes. Students also have the opportunity to spend time at Heriot-Watt's Malaysia campus through our Go Global programme.
Our programmes are designed with flexibility in mind, so if you fancy a change of direction you can transfer to a range of other mathematical, statistical or actuarial programmes during the first two years.
