It covers expertise from Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, and of course, expertise in the data and the decisions being made from it. Studying Data Science in each of these departments changes the emphasis, but data scientists from each discipline will know enough about managing and learning from data to work together and join the rapid-growth of progress that is enabled by combining expertise.
We offer programmes at all levels:
Data Science in the School of Mathematics is led by the Institute for Statistical Sciences. Students will gain all of the sound theoretical statistics foundations expected from a mathematics programme, but will also gain valuable cross-discipline skills that enable Data Science careers in Research, Industry, Government, and beyond.
