Data Science with Visualization MSc

Overview

Data science and data visualisation are closely linked. They're vital to understanding and sharing complex data insights.

Data science extracts insights and knowledge from large and complex datasets. It uses techniques from various fields, including statistics, computer science, and domain expertise.

Data visualisation is the graphical representation of data. It's used to share insights, patterns, and trends in a clear and visual way.

We created the Data Science and Visualization MSc with several high-profile industry leaders. It brings together students and industry practitioners to develop and translate new technologies into industry practice.

You’ll learn to analyse data and uncover patterns, trends and correlations. Topics covered include:

• data visualisation
• statistics
• machine learning
• data engineering
