    About

    Introduction

    Data is used by organisations of all sizes to make better decisions. In this degree, you will learn how to analyse and interpret data to inform decision-making and forecast trends.

    This degree will teach you about secure and ethical ways to collect, store, and process large amounts of data — as well as how to understand and communicate findings by turning numbers into actionable outcomes.

    As data is at the centre of every industry, you can use your diverse skillset across many fields.
