In today’s world, almost every interaction takes place through digital technology whether on a computer, smartphone, camera, or smartcard creating vast amounts of data that can be analysed to enhance decision-making, systems, and research. With advancements in technology, computational power, and machine intelligence, a new and rapidly growing field has emerged: Data Science. Rather than focusing solely on business metrics or financial markets, data science now enables the analysis of information about people and the world they live in. As Jake Porway, Executive Director of DataKind, describes, a data scientist uniquely combines the skills of a computer scientist capable of building software to manage data from multiple sources with those of a statistician, who can extract meaningful insights from that data. They develop innovative ideas and pose critical questions about what data can reveal. This programme is designed for individuals with such aspirations. Drawing on the expertise of the Mathematics and Computer Science departments, it integrates cutting-edge technologies, pioneering research, and new scientific perspectives to equip students to shape the future of society in meaningful and impactful ways.
The dissertation gives you the opportunity to use the skills gained throughout the PG taught provision. Students are expected to specialise in a specific area of research in order to create something new, or to scientifically investigate research questions and independently solve problems in an innovative way. During this practice you should reflect the scientific process and be self-reflective, critical and clear in its explanation of its hypothesis and synthesis of ideas. Each individual dissertation is worth 60 credits and this is expected to be a student led investigation into a relevant area of Computer Science.
With a history extending more than 175 prestigious years, Liverpool Hope University has developed a strong tradition of ...
