Overview
The unique Masters programme Computing (Data Science) (Online) course from the Atlantic Technological University combines 6 taught modules with a strong research project, where students are given the opportunity to implement their learning within a real-life context.
Programming for Data Science will introduce the learner to the core concepts of data science programming.
The student will be introduced to the Python programming language (specifically SciPy) generally, and will employ functions to manipulate lists, before implementing multi-dimensional arrays using Numpy or similar in order to perform statistical operations and linear equations.
The student will then manipulate data frames and time-series data using pandas or similar. SQL programming will also be introduced. Finally, the student will create, populate and query a NoSQL cloud database.
Careers
Data Scientists will implement and assess the models for increasingly complex and technical roles currently required by industry. Skills such as Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are highly sought after in manufacturing, insurance, retail, health & education sectors to harness opportunities associated with researching and making decisions based on data.

Other requirements
General requirements
- To qualify for entry to the programme a standard applicant must hold a Level 8 Honours Degree 2:2 or above.
- While it expected that most applicants will have an honours degree in Computer Science or related discipline, due to the multidisciplinary nature of Data Science an Honours Degree in Engineering, Business and Science will be sufficient.
- However, some programming knowledge (Ideally Python or C/C++ or R) and mathematics knowledge are prerequisites to the course.
