Overview

Throughout the Environmental Data Science and Analytics programme from University of Leeds you'll develop a broad understanding of environmental issues and how data driven analysis can help address these.

You’ll build the skills needed to analyse, understand, interpret and visualise complex environmental data; generating insights that address real-world environmental challenges. You’ll apply techniques from data science including environmental modelling, machine learning, visualisation and data curation to environmental data, with a focus on analysis through programming.

Here at Leeds, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from leading researchers in the field, with input from the School of Geography, the School of Earth and Environment, and the School of Computing.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the specialist knowledge and skills that are sought after across multiple industries, especially those dealing with large scale environmental data to address the needs of society.

Career opportunities:

The specific environmental context of the course allows you to enter specialised careers that require a contextual understanding of data and context from the environmental domain, including environmental consultancies, transport, engineering, utilities (e.g. water, energy, renewables) and government agencies.

More widely, the course will equip you with data science and analytical skills that are vital to many industries across the globe. Growth in the data science field is only increasing, with the number of opportunities growing year on year, from positions in local authorities and governments, industry (e.g. finance, telecoms), NGOs; wherever there is a need for data scientist or data analyst.
