This degree provides technical skills and insight in the areas of data creation, processing, analysing, visualising and interpreting data. It leads to a critical understanding of data repositories and provides you with the skills to work in the emerging role of the data scientist. If you seek to work in industry or research where there is a great demand for employees who can draw upon the mathematics of both computation and probability, able to make sense of large amounts of collected data to help solve major problems, then this is the programme for you.
