Data Science (Taught)

Learn how to turn data into actionable insights and solve complex problems in today’s data-driven world while gaining the advanced technical and analytical skills employers value most.

Our MSc Data Science at the University of Roehampton is an industry-aligned, forward-looking programme designed for graduates with a STEM background who want to apply data science across diverse sectors. You’ll develop both the theoretical foundations and practical expertise needed to analyse, visualise, and interpret complex datasets, using modern tools such as Python and cloud-based platforms.

You’ll gain a strong foundation in key areas including:

Statistical modelling and data analytics
Machine and deep learning
Data visualisation and predictive modelling
Ethical and responsible data practice
From the outset, you’ll engage with real-world data through hands-on labs, sector-specific case studies, and applied projects, preparing you to design and implement scalable data science solutions.

In your final capstone project, you’ll bring together your technical, analytical, and professional skills to manage a complete data science initiative from conception to presentation.

By the time you graduate, you’ll be a confident data science professional, equipped with the programming expertise, analytical mindset, and communication skills needed to make an impact across commercial, public, and research environments.
