MSc Data Science (Online)

Advance your data science career with this online flexible, industry-relevant distance learning MSc course.

Why study data science?

Bringing together skills in data management, analytics and artificial intelligence, data scientists work with organisations to draw competitive or efficiency-related insights from their data.

It's a field that's expected to soon make up at least a quarter of all digital jobs, and has been highlighted as a major skills gap in the government's recent industrial strategy.
