About this course

Data science is the discipline of extracting meaning from large and complex datasets, combining statistical analysis, machine learning, programming, and domain knowledge to turn raw information into insight that can inform decisions and drive innovation. It is one of the most in-demand fields in the contemporary economy, as organisations in every sector find themselves generating more data than they know how to use and facing competitive pressure to find people who can do something useful with it. At the University of Keele, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, making it accessible to students who need additional preparation in mathematics and computing before beginning the main degree. Across the programme you will explore artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics in real-world contexts, developing the skills to turn complex information into act
