Programme overview

A pathway connecting programming, statistics, data management and machine learning to frame problems and develop responsible, testable analytical solutions.

This pathway begins with mathematical and computing foundations before progressing to data collection, preparation, analysis and artificial intelligence models. It connects data quality with the validity of conclusions and emphasises interpretation, privacy, bias and the limits of models. An applied capstone brings these strands together through a clear account of the problem, method, results and recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences.

Who is this programme for?

  • Learners interested in programming, mathematical reasoning and solving problems with data.
  • Those seeking an academic foundation for analytical roles and intelligent applications.
  • Learners exploring data applications in business, services and research.

Programme objectives

  • Build connected foundations in programming, statistics and artificial intelligence.
  • Develop the ability to select analytical methods that fit the question and data.
  • Establish documentation, reproducibility and responsible data use.
  • Translate technical findings into clear recommendations for decision making.

Learning outcomes

  1. Prepare data from multiple sources and document its quality and limitations.
  2. Write understandable, reviewable analytical programs and database queries.
  3. Compare machine learning models using suitable data splits and evaluation metrics.
  4. Create visualisations and dashboards that communicate findings and uncertainty faithfully.
  5. Assess privacy and bias risks and identify proportionate mitigations.
  6. Complete an analytical project with a report explaining decisions and results.
