Data Science

Data Science at Keele offers a unique combination of robust mathematical and computational skills, including statistical techniques and extensive application of AI and machine learning, essential for success in the rapidly growing field of Data Science.

Throughout the programme, you’ll engage with real-world scenarios to enhance your learning. An example of this can be found in year two where you will collaborate in groups for an extended time to analyse a business problem, conduct research, create reports, and present your findings to various audiences. You can also choose to spend time in industry with full time or modular placement opportunities, hear from industry guest speakers and develop invaluable professional and employability skills.

In your final year you will unleash your creativity and undertake a substantial piece of research, applying theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a technical, software, research or business problem. Your final year project is an excellent opportunity for you to draw together skills in experimental study design, critical interpretation of data, presentation and project management.
