Large data sets are widespread in business, science and government. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for data-savvy professionals, both in industry and in research, who are able to make sense of complex datasets, build models and apply them to the solution of relevant problems.
This course builds on the established strengths of the Mathematics and Computer Science programmes at Kingston and develops a multidisciplinary approach to the computational analysis of data. You will get the opportunity to develop your skills in a way which will prepare you for a variety of careers in this fast-growing and exciting area. You will also get to take advantage of opportunities for exposure to cutting-edge examples and exercises.
Like many MSc courses in the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, Data Science benefits from a diverse community of learners. You will study in week-long blocks that can fit around different work/study patterns.
If you’re coming from a non-computing or mathematics discipline, we also offer a conversion course. This was designed to support the government's response to the shortage of data science and artificial intelligence specialists in the UK. Please visit the Data Science Conversion MSc page for more information.
