Data Science and Engineering

Overview

You will study a range of modules, learning to work with the cloud providers (AWS, Azure GCloud etc)  to build robust data systems, an introduction to machine learning, data models for analysis and how to store data at scale. You will learn about data visualisation to tell the story of your data and build systems to clean and analyse large data sets.

By taking the Data Science and Engineering course from University of Dundee , you will work with SQL and NoSQL databases, learn how to use parallel data analysis software, such as Spark, Flink  and learn how to integrate these into continuous deployment and integration development systems.

Working alongside, and learning from, a range of leading researchers and tutors, including vision and imaging researchers, business intelligence experts, and industrial and research data scientists, you will develop your understanding of the real-life situations you could face in your career.

Under the guidance of our academic staff, you will also undertake a research project. Recent projects examples have looked at integrating third party market data to increase sales in the drinks industry, providing access to Citizen Science data through a microservice architecture  and Diagnosing Skin Cancer using Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning.

Careers

You will gain the skills to meet industry standards and requirements, meaning that you will be able to work in a number of areas including:

• cloud and web based industries such as publishing, messaging services, data aggregators and advertising
• the health industry, in areas such as the NHS or private medical practices
• the computer games industry
