BSC Bachelor of Data Science

Degree Overview
>Data Science is the science of collating, managing, analysing, visualising and understanding data. It is key to unlocking the hidden wisdom that is stored in the vast amounts of data available in today’s world.
>Data Science students take Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics and crucially will learn to appreciate the overlap between eliciting valuable information from data through statistical reasoning and managing databases via complex manipulations.
>There is a transfer pathway from 1st year MH201 Science to 2nd year MH207 Data Science for students who have successfully taken Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics and another subject. Students must attain 55% in Mathematics. Places are limited and are based on 1st year results.
>If you want to play a central role in solving the world’s critical problems through data, or play an influential role in developing the next generation of Artificial Intelligence, then this degree programme is for you.
>By choosing this degree students become equipped with tools to collect and manage large volumes of raw data, to develop statistical models and understand their mathematical underpinnings, and to unlock valuable information stored within local, national and global datasets. In other words, they become exceedingly data literate!
