Course Summary

“The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data.” – The Economist (2017). The top 5 companies in the world today all have one thing in common, they are all data driven organisations and ostensibly make their money not from the service they provide or the products they manufacture but from the data they collect and harness to make everyday decisions. Whether it’s Google, Amazon, Facebook or Samsung, these companies all have the same thing in common, and that is data. The Data Science Undergraduate Degree at the University of Worcester will prepare you for a career in this exciting field be that as a Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Database Administrator or even working in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. You will study the basics of Computing, Programming and Coding for Web and Mobile, along with Data Mining, Information Systems, Mathematical and Statistical methods and techniques that are needed in this field. In later years of the degree, it will be Machine Learning, Cyber Security, Natural Language Processing and the Internet of Things. You will even have the opportunity to study 4-years full time and take a one-year work placement in industry, should you wish to, in order to gain vital real-world experience. According to the Harvard Business Review (2012) the fastest growing job sector, and “the sexiest job title of the 21st Century” is Data Scientist, so do you want to get your dream job? If so, join us at the University of Worcester.
