This four-year BSc (Hons) in Data Science provides a pathway for students who may not yet meet the direct entry requirements for a three-year degree. The first year serves as a foundation, equipping you with essential skills in mathematics, programming, and an introduction to areas like cyber security and robotics. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, you will seamlessly transition into the standard three-year BSc Data Science program. This ensures you graduate with the same degree title and award as students who entered directly, prepared for a career in this dynamic field. The course emphasizes practical application, using industry-standard software and real-life case studies to build your expertise.
