This course synthesises the learning from the previous courses in MSc Data Science and emphasises how they can be applied to research, business and more. Through analysis of case studies selected from various areas, the applicability of techniques will be shown and their efficacy determined.
Finally students will undertake a team based project in applying their skills to a short form case study in data science. Their work will be presented in groups, and be accompanied by an individual analytical report.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
