This MSc programme is designed in collaboration between both the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences<\/a> and the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences<\/a>. It consists of two coherent and distinctive streams<\/strong>; The first and more theoretical stream will build the student knowledge on the stochastic aspects of data science (Stream SM : Stochastic Modelling and Data Science) The second and more applied stream will build the student knowledge on the computational aspects and engineering applications (Stream CDSE : Computational Data Science and Engineering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that students will only be able to study one of these streams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
