Big Data is taking centre stage in all areas – business and industry, public policy, the life sciences, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, and people with knowledge of how to process and analyse large amounts of data has become an increasingly sought after category.
The programme consists of courses in Applied Data Science and related subjects. The courses are progressively arranged so that they, within the framework of learning outcomes, contribute separately and jointly, to develop your skills and abilities in the field.
