Almost everything we do results in data being created and stored somewhere. Individuals, communities, business, and governments face major challenges in harnessing all this data to create knowledge that will underpin a healthier, safer, more productive world. There is a global shortage of talent and expertise in Data Analytics and Data Science. This MSc and Diploma programme will provide graduates of Computing or related degrees with the deep technical knowledge and analytical skills to succeed in this growth area. |
