Overview

Taught by experts in the field, you'll use real-world data to learn the technical, practical and transferrable skills needed to be a successful data scientist. This Data Science degree from University of Kent is designed for those with limited previous knowledge of data science, statistics and computing: you don't need a background in the subject as we start with the foundations of data science theory.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning innovations have made data processing faster and more efficient. Industry demand has created job positions in organisations around the world within the field of data science.

Your future

You will be a trained data scientist, equipped to work in many fields. Organisations with data will require your skills: you might work for a national government, an insurance company, as an archaeologist or for a football club or cricket franchise. Alternatively, perhaps you see yourself as a future entrepreneur, using what you’ve learnt about data to develop your own business. To help you decide, you’ll be able to attend talks from professionals who work with data and to attend networking events with employers.
