All around the world, companies are gathering ever increasing quantities of data and looking for data analysts who can organise, interpret and extract meaningful value from complex data sets. The best of these analysts possess both the computing skills to manage the data and the mathematics skills to go deeper in their analysis to determine patterns, construct models and make predictions. This versatile Mathematics with Data Science programme is designed to provide you with the necessary mathematical background and data analysis techniques to succeed in an increasingly virtual world dominated by Big Data.
Our programme shares its core modules with our BSc (Hons) Mathematics and, as such, you will encounter modules on Group Theory, Number Theory, Real Analysis and Graph Theory, as well as modules on Optimisation Techniques, Data Analysis, Predictive Analytics, AI and Cryptography.
This dynamic course has been structured to enable you to develop your understanding of the coherence, logical structure and wide variety of applications of mathematics. You also discover the values of research and in-depth study using mathematical and statistical tools and resources, and have opportunities to model various phenomena and interpret numerical data.
Our aim is to provide you with a holistic mathematics and data science education by enabling you to combine the world of the pure and abstract with cutting-edge data analysis techniques.
In Year 1, you study Calculus, Linear Algebra with Differential Equations, Algorithms and Computer Programming, Probability and Statistics, Analysis,
and Discrete Mathematics
In Year 2, you look in-depth at Numerical Methods
and Predictive Data Analytics.
In your final year, you progress to Fundamentals of Surrogate Modelling and Strategic Forecasting and Simulation, and carry out your own Independent Project and Seminar tailored to your interests.
There is a range of optional modules which may include Advanced Analysis, Cryptography, and Fundamentals of Machine Learning.
With our blended approach to learning you will encounter a combination of teaching techniques such as:
flipped-learning, research projects, oral presentations, essay writing, in conjunction with standard
lectures, seminars and small group discussions.
If you choose to study Mathematics with Data Science at Winchester, your career opportunities are not only numerous, they’re also likely to be fairly well paid. The course allows you to develop the knowledge, understanding, technical skills and confidence to operate successfully in an international and globalised work environment.
Mathematics is a multifaceted discipline and its skills, such as problem-solving, rigorous argument and effective communication, along with precise data analysis, are greatly in demand in a broad range of employment sectors. Rewarding professional careers await you in the financial sector, engineering, teaching, health and medicine, business and IT as teachers, data analysts, software developers, researchers and consultants.
