Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Data science skills are now in huge demand across every field of science from particle physics to ecology, from drug design to climate change.
This course will equip you with the skills needed to solve data science questions in different fields of science, and to be agile enough to adapt to new fields and challenges as economic and scientific demands change.
You'll concentrate on the skills which data scientists apply on a daily basis to perform data analyses and to rigorously evaluate the results of those analyses, rather than focusing on theoretical bases or algorithmic structure. This approach will equip you with the skills to succeed even if you don't come from such a formal mathematical or computational background.
This course is led by the Department of Chemistry.
