What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Data Science and Analytics
At Essex, they help students understand how utilizing the speed and processing-power of computers can assist in using data to make better decisions. Students discover the new methods and the smart, unusual questions needed to make sense of both numerical and textual data. Their course balances solid theory with practical application through exploring topics including:
• Mathematical skills • Computer science and programming • Statistics and operations research • Artificial intelligence, databases and information retrieval • Ethical issues around the use and processing of data • Specialist skills in the areas of big data, data analytics and data science
A successful career in data science requires students to possess truly interdisciplinary knowledge, so they ensure that students graduate with a wide-ranging yet specialized set of skills in this area. Students are taught mainly within our Department of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, but also benefit from input from the Essex Business School, and the Essex Pathways Department.
Data scientists are required in every sector, carrying out statistical analysis or mining data on social media, so the course can open the door to almost any industry, from health, to government, to publishing.
