Master of Science [M.Sc] [Data Science] From Cardiff Metropolitan University

This Master's degree in Data Science is an industry-relevant and popular postgraduate programme of study. Data Science and "Big Data" are more important than ever. Graduates trained to garner insights from large data sets, extract patterns and provide actionable information to solve real-world problems are sought after in both the private and public sector.

This course will equip you with in-demand theoretical knowledge and practical skills to develop data science systems, use software to analyse and synthesise data, and manage all aspects of data science.

This course will equip students with a theoretical understanding and practical experience of applying methods drawn from data science and analytics. You will develop a range of in-demand skills for extracting and handling ‘big data’ and applying modelling tools to help businesses and government organisations make better decisions.

On completion of the course, you will be well placed to progress into a variety of roles in data-intensive industries or a related research career.

This one-year degree falls under the umbrella of the Data Science Academy (DSA), run by the School of Computer Science and Informatics, in partnership with the School of Mathematics. You will benefit from the shared knowledge and skills of both Schools. However, your degree will still be run by the School of Mathematics. 

Applicants should meet one of the following:

• Possess, or expect to obtain, an undergraduate degree or equivalent, in a relevant area with a minimum of a 2:2 classification;
• Hold a suitable professional qualification from an appropriate professional body.
