Course summary

Our Professional Doctorate in Data Science is the first industrial doctorate of its kind, and is supported by The Data Lab innovation centre.We build on Stirling’s highly successful taught MSc Data Science to equip you with a range of cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and practical skills and tools, that will lead to an academic or industry job in the area of Data Science, with possible applications to sectors such as life-sciences, finance, engineering, computing, healthcare, fintech or business.In addition to enhancing students’ employability through work-based learning, the doctorate prepares you to undertake interdisciplinary Data Science research, jointly supervised by world-leading Stirling academics and Data Science industry experts.The Professional Doctorate consists of a one-year taught programme, based on Stirling MSc programmes in Data Science, and a two-year research programme, to be conducted in collaboration with an industrial partner around industry-relevant research questions. Students could be employees of the industrial partner looking for further training and qualification, or have already established a (potential) collaboration with an industrial partner willing to support the project.Each of our MSc in Data Science or in Fintech may offer the opportunity to establish a suitable collaboration with an industrial partner, and then grant access to the second year of the Professional Doctorate in Data Science on a research programme agreed with the industrial partner.
