Course summary
The Big Data revolution needs data professionals to assist in data intelligence through automated data management, analysis and presentation in industry and public sector, as the increase in demand is 160% (Blau, 2015; Columbus, 2017). Typically computing courses in the UK don’t address industries’ and public sectors’ need for data professionals to manage data for public good. There is an increase in demand for graduates with interdisciplinary skills and abilities; social science humanities, mathematical, information science, systems science, psychology and economics. This course will provide you with the opportunity to build upon your degree learning and further develop your interdisciplinary skills. You will learn how to lead on, manage, use and harness technology to extract, analyse, and visualise data.
