Course summary

Data science is an increasingly attractive career destination for graduates, offering lucrative and fulfilling employment opportunities in a variety of sectors.

The purpose of this course is to 'upskill' psychology graduates (and those from neighbouring disciplines) to prepare for a career in data science, with a particular emphasis on human-related data sets that are common in industry and third sector organisations.

This could include the use of social media data, large-scale customer surveys, game data, neuroimaging data, and census data to address problems relevant to businesses, charities and governments. You'll graduate with a unique set of skills that will allow you to work professionally with such data sets and any that involve human behavioural data.

Based in the Department of Psychology, the course is delivered by an interdisciplinary team of experts in the analysis of human behavioural data, and is embedded in a wider portfolio of data science courses across the institution.
