MSc Data Science (Computer Science Data Informatics)

The dissertation is a key part of your programme. It is where you apply the skills you have picked up during the programme and develop as an independent data scientist under the supervision and guidance of a research active member of staff.

The dissertation process will runs through the year although the bulk of the work will be done once your second semester assignments are complete.
