Big data is all around and the ability to identify and obtain intelligence from this requires a set of skills which is increasingly in demand. This programme provides a robust grounding in the key principles and tools of data science, together with a strong focus on industrial applications.

This master’s programme has been designed in conjunction with SAS (Data and AI Solutions), a leading provider of software platforms for data mining and business intelligence, widely used in both industry and academia. Students will develop a critical and deep understanding of the relevant theoretical aspects related to big data that is integrated with SAS, as well as other up-to-date software applications, to gain a comprehensive knowledge relevant to both prospective and well-established IT professionals and entrepreneurs, who want to make an impact in the field of Advanced Data Science.

In addition, students will be able to complement their studies with an appropriate SAS qualification, upon successful completion of the relevant examinations. Students can also meet the criteria for Chartered Information Technology Professional status, upon completion of satisfactory post programme industrial experience.
