Be at the forefront of the future world of work.

The specialised nature of this degree prepares you for work in many areas in the Information Technology industry that are related to data analysis, big data, statistical and predictive reporting.

Data Science is a branch of Information Technology that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. Students will be equipped with the concepts behind statistics, data analysis, machine learning and related methods in order to understand and analyse actual phenomena with data.

Data Science does require programming tools. Hence, this qualification will help students achieve the above technical know-how using Python.

You will also develop essential skills for the world of work, such as analytical and abstract thinking, effective decision-making self-discipline, being innovative, adapting to change, working in teams and communicating effectively.
