About this course
BSc Hons in Data Science (Study Abroad), a mathematics and statistics degree focused on computational and analytical methods for complex datasets. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Human Behaviour, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and Design & Creative Practice. Students spend the third year studying abroad at an approved international partner university and complete a substantial individual project in the final year. The first year covers foundational principles through compulsory modules such as Designing Software Systems, Digital Systems, Fundamentals of Computer Science, Matrices and Calculus, Probability and Statistics, and Software Development. Year two introduces core studies in HCI: Designing for People, Multivariate Probability and Statistics, Project Skills, and Secure Data and Systems, alongside optional choices including Applied Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Extended Reality, Internet Applications, Algorithms, Applied Security Methods, Data Engineering, and Sustainable Computing. In the final year, students select from specialized options such as Advanced Programming, Changepoint and Time Series Analysis, Computer Science Education, Computer Vision, Digital Health, Environmental Statistics, Languages and Compilation, Machine Learning, Medical Statistics, Natural Language Processing, Quantum Computing, Secure Artificial Intelligence, Secure Cyber Physical Systems, Secure Distributed Systems, Statistical Inference, Statistical Learning and Prediction, and Stochastic Processes alongside the Third Year Project (Data Science).
