Master of Professional Studies in Data Science

Course Description

• The Master of Professional Studies specialising in Data Science concentrates on the application of data management and data analysis skills to a professional domain, such as business. The Master of Data Science is an advanced programme and takes the skills learned from the student’s undergraduate degree in Data Science to the next level. Students will be taught how to apply state-of-the-art techniques from computer science and statistics to real-world problems.

Students will have the opportunity to apply techniques from large-scale data management, data mining, machine learning, statistical modelling and statistical analysis to relevant domains, assemble theories and tools from Computer Science, Statistics and domains of Data Science to create information, knowledge, or innovative products, critically analyse data, but also assess the appropriateness and limitations of the methods and solutions, utilise techniques for visualisation and communication to express and share their findings at a level that is appropriate for the target audience and manage knowledge and time in Data Science projects.
