Behind every great business decision and scientific discovery there is data being crunched, and as Data Scientists we understand the power and intrinsic meaning in that data. The modern world needs a new breed of Data Scientist, one that can not only wield the power of advanced Artificial Intelligence but can also communicate the insight and recommendations to the world at large.  That is precisely where the graduates of Bangor’s Data Science and Visualisation degree come in.  From the outset, you will be immersed in the best of breed research-led science and theory in both handling and analysing data, and in communicating the message behind it using state-of-the-art information visualisation.  

This degree blends the technical aspects of artificial intelligence, computer graphics and visualisation while also focusing on relaying the important messages to those that make the decisions. There are a multitude of careers that would benefit from this education, including Business Analysis and Intelligence, Marketing Analysis, Consumer Prediction and Decision Support.

This degree provides an inventive combination of computer science fundamentals, programming, data analysis, critical reasoning and machine learning. The programme produces graduates that are proficient in using data to derive insight using up-to-the-minute methods and algorithms. This combination will allow you to exploit the new frontier of machine learning and AI, ideally placing you to take up roles in both industry and academia.

In addition, the programme places a premium on responsible use of data. It champions the professional values needed when using the immense power of modern analytics, and an appreciation of relevant ethical, legal and social issues is embedded throughout. You will also be equipped with the transferable skills needed for any knowledge economy position; teamwork, communication, self-management, independence and discipline.

Internships

Bangor University runs a paid internship scheme within the university’s academic and service departments.

Career

Graduates from this course are anticipated to join industry in data analysis, financial analysis, data support or similar positions. Their degree will have equipped them with not only practical skills, but an understanding of the underpinning theory. This allows them to both provide accurate and insightful analysis and to communicate that insight to colleagues.
