Overview Data has the potential to transform the way business, government, science and healthcare is carried out. Conventional manual techniques, however, aren't capable of handling the deluge of data that modern systems generate. Data science, which applies specialised computational and statistical techniques to analyse such 'big data', is considered one of the key skills of the 21st century and there is a skills shortage in this field. This interdisciplinary course will enhance your skills and give you a range of technical skills necessary to work in data science across a variety of industries. KEY FEATURES • You'll learn to apply technical skills in areas such as business and scientific applications, forensic investigation and research. • You'll develop skills in data management on and off the cloud, machine learning, statistical modelling and a range of big data technologies that will set you apart from your competitors as you enter the workforce. • This course is interdisciplinary across computer science, mathematics and statistics, ensuring you develop the skills to apply data science to real-world issues. • You'll have the opportunity to choose electives in areas such as data security management and modern computational statistical methods to expand your knowledge of data science.
