Course Overview

There has never been a time where so much data has been available in conjunction with the tools to make the most of it. These tools constitute the field of data science. There has also never been a time with so many global challenges to tackle, from the shortage of resources and the impact we have on the environment to the strive to automate and optimize a variety of systems such as transport, energy, health, and communication. There are almost limitless opportunities to use these tools in the various domains and applications for making a real impact on industry, society, and policymaking. This course is for you if you want to use your mathematical and numerical skills to embark on a career in data science and its application. During the course, you will develop the necessary analytical and computational skills alongside an informed and critical appreciation of scientific and industrial developments in data. The difference between this course and the MSc Data Analytics course is that this one features a professional placement. Students are responsible for finding their own work placement, with the help of our award-winning Careers and Placements Team, who have helped so many of our students to secure placement and work opportunities. Aston is 3rd in the UK for the number of students taking a sandwich year (HESA 2018), showing just how much we encourage students to get professional experience and how successful we are at enabling them to secure work placements. Take a look at our specific placement information and support. Please find more about the time frame under €˜Learning, teaching, and assessment.
