Mathematical Sciences (Data Analytics Option) Wenzhou-Kean University

Overview

The Mathematical Sciences (Data Analytics Option) course from Wenzhou-Kean University is structured to allow additional and elective courses electives in mathematics, business and computer science that enable the student to focus on a variety of further areas of interest. Students are strongly encouraged to take a minor in their applied field of interest such as Computer Science, Finance, Economics etc.

The Mathematical Sciences programme is committed to developing students with a solid theoretical knowledge of Mathematical and Statistics concepts and nurturing them to work with a variety of more practical methods including predictive/prescriptive analytics, Big Data Computing, Applied Machine Learning, Statistical Data Mining and Data Visualization using programming environments such as R, MATLAB and Python.Many courses of the specialization end with a project that provide an opportunity to see how the material of the course is used in Data Analytics. In these project studentwill analyze the complex real-world problems arising in Data Science and learn to solve them through analysis of data with statistical software.

Career opportunities:

The Data Analytics skills are in high demand (The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century) as the huge amount of data are generated by scientific, social activity and business from sensors, internet and other sources. Data Analytics experts are needed in virtually every job sector.

Graduates from the WKU Mathematical Sciences programme prepare students for the emerging and high-growth fields of digital information and big data. This programme will help prepare future Data Scientists to meet the demands of data driven industries, governmental agencies and labor market in financial sectors, health industry, social media and education. It provides a foundation for further graduate study and research.
