Data Science

Overview

Data Science programme at Liverpool John Moores University comprises six core modules covering statistical and computing techniques plus an extended research project. It is designed to give you the knowledge to move into the world of work as a qualified Data Scientist or to carry out further research through a PhD or equivalent. It is delivered via a combination of lectures, tutorials and and hands-on computer laboratory sessions.

A major component of the MSc programme is the research project module, which will give you the opportunity to work on a high-level original research topic, with guidance from an experienced researcher and supervisor.

Career

 Our applied learning techniques and strong industry connections ensure our students are fully prepared for the workplace on graduation and understand how to apply their knowledge in a real world context.

This programme is particularly focussed on preparing you for a career in industry or for PhD level study.

​Data science is a growing area of demand with a predicted scarcity of expertise forecast over the next decade. LJMU has strong links with many graduate employers of data scientists who value the skills developed in the course such as accessing, manipulating and drawing insight from large volumes of complex data; assimilating information from the research literature and scientific and technical writing.
