MSci Maths and Data Science will appeal to those looking to undertake a traditional mathematics degree, and will also provide them with outstanding training in data science. You will learn the fundamental mathematical and computational techniques underpinning data science applications, with coverage of machine learning, statistical modelling, and tools for handling large and complex datasets. You will also gain an overview of the social and governance context for data science. All our degrees involve a combination of teaching methods, including lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials. Most modules in mathematics involve three one-hour lectures per week, so you would typically have 12 lectures per week. In the first year there are tutorial classes for each module every week and example classes every fortnight, except for modules involving computing or project work. Thus in the first year you would typically have around 16 contact hours per week. Assessment for all degrees is through a combination of examinations and coursework. Examinations are the more important part of the process, but the assessed coursework will help you to work steadily throughout your degree. This is particularly important in Mathematics where the subject matter develops logically from fairly simple beginnings. Written examinations for Mathematics modules are held in January and May/June of the first and second years and in May/June of each subsequent year. Most modules also have either a mid-term test or coursework contributing to the assessment. This degree was designed with employability firmly in mind. There is an established strong market demand for suitably skilled data scientists and data science skills are increasingly being sought across the sectors, particularly by the finance and accounting industries, supermarkets, online retailers such as Amazon and the NHS. Data Science is a rapidly growing field and interlinked with a Mathematics qualification enables all graduates to consider a number of different avenues from academia to industry-led employment after graduation.
