Data Science (including a Foundation Year)

About this course

Data science is one of the most in-demand fields in the contemporary economy, and for good reason: the ability to collect, analyse, visualise, and draw conclusions from large datasets is transforming how organisations make decisions across every sector. Data scientists combine statistical thinking with computational skill and the domain knowledge needed to ask the right questions and communicate findings clearly. It is a discipline that rewards both mathematical rigour and practical curiosity. At the University of Chester, this four-year full-time degree includes a foundation year for those who would benefit from additional preparation before the main programme begins, ensuring that students who are capable but may not yet have all the necessary mathematical or computing background can access the degree and succeed in it. The programme equips you with skills in R, Python, SQL, and data
