Overview

Organisations all over the world are looking to data to transform how they work - from governments to supermarkets and Formula One teams. But what makes a great data scientist?

Exceptional data scientists don’t just find and present data. They’re problem-solvers, with the ability to think laterally. They’re critical thinkers, with deep attention to detail. They’re curious, and look beyond what the surface to test their assumptions and hunt down unexpected insights.

University of Kent's new MSc in Data Science with Placement will help you apply machine learning and deep learning methods to get real meaning from your data. It is designed as a conversion course - which means you don’t need a strong background in data science, statistics and computing to apply.

You’ll start with the building blocks of data science, and learn key programming languages such as Python and R. But we’ll also work on developing your critical mindset, encouraging you to adapt your knowledge to different problems and to and to explore, analyse, validate and explain your models.

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.
