Course summary

Please note, this course is being advertised subject to approval.

Our Mathematics with Data Science and Artificial Intelligence BSc is interdisciplinary, combining traditional mathematical techniques with state-of-the-art applications in the field of data science and artificial intelligence (AI). It will provide you with a sound background in the techniques of mathematics and statistics, training in data science tools, computational and programming skills, as well as an understanding of data science practice.

You will gain expertise in handling large sets of data and drawing knowledge, patterns and trends from these data sets. This degree will cover machine learning and AI, statistical and mathematical modelling and teach a range of programming languages.

Your third year includes a research project on a data science/AI topic.

Development of data analysis and programming skills is an integral part of all our mathematics degrees. Through a combination of computer labs and dedicated modules, you will learn to use the computational functions in Excel, program in R, Python and Matlab and use LaTeX for scientific writing. No previous knowledge of computing is required for any of our degrees.
