Data Science and Analytics

About this course

Data science and analytics is concerned with extracting meaning from information. In an era when organisations across every sector accumulate data at unprecedented scale, the ability to work with that data rigorously, to clean and organise it, build models that explain patterns, and communicate findings in ways that support good decisions, has become one of the most sought-after skill sets in the professional world. The discipline combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge, and it rewards people who are both technically confident and intellectually curious. At the University of Essex this three-year, full-time programme gives you a broad grounding in the solid theory and practical applications of mathematics, computing, and data analysis. You will study statistical methods alongside programming skills and the algorithmic thinking that underpins modern data
