Course summary

Combine the fascinating and complex field of Human Biology with the exciting discipline Data Science to gain new insight into health and disease in humans. From discovering statistical patterns in large datasets, to using machine learning and AI, our Data Science and Human Biology BSc will equip you with the knowledge, analytical, problem-solving and computational skills to advance human health in a variety of careers. Why choose this course?

  • Blend strong theoretical foundations with practical applied knowledge in this cross-discipline degree
  • All necessary knowledge in mathematics, statistics and coding is provided within relevant modules
  • This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology if you specialise in Human Biology in the final year of your studies
  • Develop your practical skills in Keele's state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories (CSL) and David Attenborough Laboratories
  • Enhance your employability with an industrial placement or year studying abroad
In data science you will explore the fundamental concepts underlying the analysis of complex data together with techniques for applying these using a contemporary programming language. You will look at data science and its relationship with business analytics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence and examine the processes techniques used to extract information from raw data. In human biology you will explore a mixture of core modules that will provide you with the fundamentals of human biology that underpin all areas of biological study. You will explore compulsory modules in physiology, anatomy and the fundamentals of biology - from a cellular and molecular level to the evolution of complex living organisms. During your first and second year, you will take laboratory classes most weeks to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third years. From AI, data visualisation and deep learning to investigating the real life applications of human biology in the diagnosis, treatment and management of human disease - you will develop the advanced knowledge and skills to carry out your own independent studies.
