Data Science

What you'll study

You will cover fundamental statistical and analytical concepts (such as machine learning) and technological tools (such as cloud platforms, Spark) for large-scale data analysis. Through your taught modules, you will examine:

Statistical data modelling, data visualisation and prediction. Machine learning techniques for cluster detection, and automated classification. Techniques for processing massive amounts of data. Domain-specific techniques for applying data science, including: computer vision, social media analysis, intelligent sensing and internet of things. Case study-based projects that show the practical application of key skills in real industrial and research scenarios. You will also undertake a large project where you will demonstrate the application of data science skills in a complex scenario.
