Overview:

The BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Data Science) combines core computing principles with methods for working with data, preparing students to understand how computational techniques can be applied to data-driven problems. The course provides a foundation for developing technical knowledge across computer science and data science, with an emphasis on understanding and using data effectively.

What You'll Learn:

• Fundamental concepts and principles of computer science

• Key ideas and techniques used in data science

• Methods for collecting, organising and working with data

• Computational approaches to analysing and interpreting data

• Programming concepts relevant to computer science and data-focused work

• The relationship between computing technologies, data and practical problem-solving

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, students will be able to explain important concepts within computer science and data science and recognise how these areas complement one another. They will develop an understanding of programming and computational approaches and be able to apply appropriate techniques when working with data. Students will also be able to examine data-related problems systematically, select relevant methods for analysis, and interpret results in a clear and informed way. The course supports the development of analytical and technical thinking needed to approach computing and data science tasks with greater confidence and structure.
