This specialist MSc will train you to extract insights from large amounts of data to discover patterns and knowledge from spatio-temporal data.
Teaching combines theory with extensive hands-on experience to cover the diverse facets of big data – from the principles of spatio-temporal analysis and computation guided by statistical and machine learning techniques, to space time data, parallel computing, system design, social media analysis, text mining, and programming.
You'll apply your skills to real-world scenarios, to create models for social media listening, understand weather patterns, predict earthquakes, and determine global warming trends.
