Course description
Throughout your learning journey, you will be working with a team of dedicated, dynamic and research active academic staff who are committed to providing high quality research-led teaching with practical classes.

How you will study
Learning on this course is a partnership between the student, his/her peers, and the teaching team. It is a mix of timetabled activity and student’s own personal study.
The course applies a problem-based learning approach to structure the content and delivery of lectures, seminars and other in/out-of-class activities with the use of case studies to improve your analytical and problem-solving skills. In practical workshop seminars, you will enrich your problem-solving skills in various business analytics tools through the use of a wide range of application software and platforms, such as MSc Excel and its sophisticated Add-ins, Power BI, Python, SPSS, SQL and non-SQL-based DBMS, AWS, Simul8, Insight Maker and others. The course team organises regular presentations by external speakers with industrial experience that will help you understand how the taught material is applied in industry.
Teaching staff are often engaged in research or commercial activities and this ensures that you will gain an understanding of contemporary issues in the field. Student projects are often integrated with industry real cases and problems. This makes the course very attractive as well as a practical study destination if you want to grasp the global digital challenge as a data science professional.
