MSc Data Science Pathways Scholarships

The pace at which we produce data is rapidly outstripping our ability to analyse and use it. Science and industry are crying out for a new generation of data scientists who combine the statistical skills of data analysis and the computational skills needed to carry out this analysis on a vast scale. 

The curriculum of our MSc Data Science provides students with these skills, and trains them for specific domains via programme pathways.
