Data science courses

Data science is a multidisciplinary field that combines maths, science, data analytics, statistics and sometimes even artificial intelligence to collect data from a number of different sources.

A data science course will provide you with an understanding of the research principles and methods underpinning the practice of data science. You’ll learn how to work with complex bodies of unstructured data, deduce findings and make recommendations that can help solve business problems.

If you have an affinity for maths, statistics or computer science, then a data science degree could be just the course for you. The world of data is expanding at a phenomenal rate, and a background in data science will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to navigate it.

Use principles from mathematics, stats, programming and coding to help solve issues businesses face on a daily basis and guide their decision making.
