This course will give you the skills you will need to succeed as a Data Engineer or Data Scientist, taking you from techniques to handle Big Data through to analysing and visualising this data to give meaningful insights. Companies are realising they need employees with a specific set of skills to bridge the gap between the work of Data Scientists and the infrastructure needed for a reliable and scalable solution. The Data Engineer needs to understand the work of Data Scientists at the same level of detail and take it to the next step, a working solution that will deliver day in and day out. This MSc has been created with industry input to prepare its students with the skills to handle this wave of data and to be at the forefront of its exploitation. Our experience suggests that graduates of this course will have most impact in the following areas: cloud and web based industries that handle large volumes of fast moving data that need to be stored, analysed and maintained.
