Course summary

This programme is aimed at students who wish to develop a career in the areas of data science and related disciplines. This programme is a good fit for you if you are interested in the analysis of real-world datasets, how they are collected, and how they can be explored using the latest in state-of-the-art statistical or machine learning based models. The key aim is to answer challenging questions of interest about populations, be it the customer base of an organisation such as a bank, or exploring manufacturing processes in pharmaceutical companies to identify efficiencies or sources of system errors. An interest in developing or strengthening coding skills, particularly in R or Python, is a key prerequisite to entering the programme.
