Mathematics and Data Science The University of Exeter

Overview

The Mathematics and Data Science programme from The University of Exeter allows you to use mathematics to develop a deeper understanding of the processes behind data manipulation. Within this course you'll:

• Become expert at handling large and complex datasets and understand the statistical considerations which can affect results, such as bias and uncertainty

• Study topics such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical modelling and programming

• Research projects in each academic year will allow you to develop project management skills in your area of interest, using real world datasets and guided by an academic supervisor

Career opportunities:

Your curriculum has been developed with partners, including IBM, the Met Office, South West Water, Black Swan and Oxygen House. Throughout your studies you will conduct individual and group projects using real world data sets. Modules will use current industry methods, platforms, software and data, to ensure that they are fully reflective of workplace practice.

We’ve designed our degrees with employability firmly in mind. As well as hard skills such as programming and data analysis, you’ll develop important work place skills such as communication, presentation and teamwork.

There is an established strong market demand for suitably skilled data scientists and data science skills are increasingly being sought across many sectors, particularly by the finance and accounting industries, supermarkets, online retailers such as Amazon and the NHS.
