Course Summary

Collecting, managing and analysing data is essential across many sectors – from finance to politics, and advertising to healthcare. This data science masters degree will give you the advanced computation and mathematics skills you’ll need to work in the growing field of data science.Designed in collaboration with industry and drawing on leading research, our Data Science MSc will prepare you for a career as a data scientist, data analyst, data engineer, data architect or a business analyst.Our data science masters uniquely addresses the fundamentals of data as well as the technical considerations needed to handle data with increasing scale and complexity.

Modules

The need for computational power and data storage continues to drive demand for more highly capable systems. Highly data intensive applications demand fast access to terabytes, petabytes, even exabytes of storage; processor intensive applications demand access to various types of processors in various configurations. Such applications are increasingly being developed in both scientific and industrial contexts and need to be variously scalable and supportable for large numbers of geographically distributed users. This module will provide insights into how Cloud Computing attempts to meet the varying needs of such applications.
