Aims

The innovative Data Science (Environmental Analytics) programme at The University of Manchester is an opportunity for graduates from a broad range of disciplines to develop data science skills. Our goal is to help you develop into an agile, skilled data scientist, adept at working in a variety of settings and be able to meet the challenges and reap the rewards of interdisciplinary team work.

There is growing evidence across academia, policy makers and industry that 'Environmental Intelligence (EI)' is an emerging research area of strategic global importance. Its primary aim is to understand and respond to the complex interactions between the environment, climate, natural ecosystems, human social and economic systems, and health.

Key areas of concern include:

Climate Change (eg resilient cities, clean power, smart transport options, sustainable production).

Biodiversity and Conservation (eg habitat protection and restoration, pollution control, realizing natural capital), Natural Hazards(eg predicting and forecasting, early warning systems, resilient infrastructure).

Environment and Health (eg air quality, water and sanitisation, social and environmental inequalities).

Mapped to The University of Manchester's research strengths, the aim of this pathway is to prepare you for new and exciting training across cutting edge data science and environmental science technologies to integrate multiple complex data sources, and create tools that enable informed decision making for future environmental systems.
