MSc - Master of Science
UCL (University College London)
Full Time
Sep 2026
1 Year
Data science brings together computational and statistical skills for data-driven problem solving. This programme will equip students with the analytical tools to design sophisticated technical solutions using modern computational methods and with an emphasis on rigorous statistical thinking. The programme combines training in core statistical and machine learning methodology, beginning at an introductory level, with a range of optional modules covering more specialised knowledge in statistical computing and modelling. Students will take one compulsory module and up to two additional modules in computer science, with the remaining modules (including the research project) taken mainly from within statistical science. The programme is accessible to students with undergraduate degrees in a related quantitative discipline (such as mathematics, statistics, economics, actuarial science), who wish to gain advanced training in statistical analysis and computation to enable them to enter specialist employment or academic research. The modules in this MSc programme require computer programming in both R and Python, and most modules in computer science assume familiarity with Python coding.
A fee deposit will be charged at 2.5 percent of the first year fee.
