Programme Overview
Our Data Science and Analytics BSc will give you the combination of analytical, technical and presentation skills to convert data into valuable insights. In a constantly changing global environment, the massive use of social networks and the Internet of Things are generating a huge and fast-growing amount of data. Data processing is carried out through increasingly complex and sophisticated computer capabilities and algorithmic models, and involves advanced storage technologies such as cloud computing. As a result, there is currently a great need for professionals who can process, understand and present this data in an appropriate and effective way. These skills are much needed by businesses which collect data from customers, partners and from the market in which they operate to support evidence-based decision-making. Governments rely on data to improve their policies and deliver better services as well.
