The programme covers the key areas of Data Analytics - programming (using Python), SQL, R, maths (statistics), case studies and project work.

What will I experience?

The programme will equip graduates with the skills and aptitudes necessary to excel in the emerging field of Data Analytics. This programme will ensure that you will be able to understand the data context, apply appropriate techniques and utilise the most relevant tools to generate insights into such data.

The programme is build to offer the student maximum flexibility in terms of learning and collaboration opportunities, using platform-independent technologies to ensure that you can fit your learning around your busy life. In addition, there will be a number of Saturday workshops where you can meet your lecturer face-to-face, in addition to your fellow students, and experience the social aspect learning.
