Machine learning and data science are all around us. The need for people who can collate and interpret complex data has never been greater. This integrated Masters course will give you the skills to solve data-intensive problems. It is particularly relevant if you are interested in a research career.
You’ll explore the relationships between mathematics, data and statistics and gain a thorough grounding in theories and techniques. You’ll apply mathematical algorithms for the analysis, interpretation and visualisation of large data-sets, using real-world data.
In your mathematics modules you’ll learn the theory that forms the basis of modern data science. You’ll put this theory into practice in your data science modules. All modules are based on the latest research. Our faculty are experts in this exciting field. Their research is having significant impact in areas such as:
artificial intelligence
infectious disease control.
You’ll develop analytical and modelling skills, using industry-standard software such as Python and R. During your fourth year you’ll gain further skills and apply them to an advanced research project.
By graduation you’ll have necessary skills to become a capable quantitative scientist. Career options include roles in:
the financial services
information and digital technology
research.
You’ll be part of a close-knit, friendly department. Our lecturers take the time to get to know you. They operate an open-door policy, so you’ll always find support if you need it.
