Course summary

Data Science is one of the most exciting and dynamic fields of study in the world today. The advanced analysis of data belonging to complex systems and organisations means data scientists can see patterns and trends in human behaviour on a scale and with a level of accuracy we could not have contemplated in the past. This means data scientists have the knowledge at their fingertips to make exciting changes happen. Data scientists develop advanced skills in modelling complex real-life systems, visualisation, problem solving and communication, meaning they can engage with audiences and demonstrate insights that make the organisation they work for more agile, innovative and effective. The York St John University Data Science Degree Apprenticeship aims to develop multi-skilled, multidisciplined data scientists through a programme that evelops acquisition of the necessary technical skills. On completion, learners will achieve a BSc (Hons) Data Science Degree Apprenticeship and will graduate at York Minster along with all York St John University graduates. This degree has been accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), the Chartered Institute for IT. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by BCS.
