Career

LJMU has an excellent employability record with 97% of our postgraduates in work or further study fifteen months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2025). 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 focused 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.

The programme enables you to plan and complete a substantial programme of original research at the highest level. We expect that many projects should have the potential to result in papers in refereed journals and serve as the starting point for PhD level work.
