Course Overview

Data is everywhere and continuing to grow massively, which has created a huge demand for qualified experts who can uncover valuable insights from data. Data science is an emerging and trending field that is rapidly developing. It combines data analytics, statistics, computer science, and software engineering and is highly sought-after by employers in business, education, finance, industry, the public sector, and many other fields. Birkbeck's four-year, full-time BSc Data Science and Computing with Foundation Year will give you the strong technical grounding you need to work in a job as a data scientist or industry analyst. You will gain a broad knowledge of computing and mathematics and acquire strong programming and data analysis skills using Python, R, and Java - the most popular programming languages used by data scientists. During this course, you will also investigate current research areas in data science more deeply and engage practically with the industry. Upon successful completion of the 2021-22 Foundation Year, you will automatically progress on to our three-year, full-time evening study BSc Data Science and Computing.
