Data Science

About this course

Data science at UCL sits within one of the world's leading research universities, and the programme reflects that: it is mathematically rigorous, computationally demanding, and oriented toward the frontiers of what is currently known and possible in the field. Data science draws on statistics, machine learning, computer science, and domain knowledge to extract insight from large and complex datasets, and it is transforming almost every area of human activity from medicine and climate science to finance and the arts. This three-year full-time programme demands a high level of mathematical preparation and intellectual commitment. You will study probability and statistical theory, linear algebra, machine learning methods, algorithms and data structures, and the computational tools, primarily Python and related libraries, that are standard in professional and research practice.
