In some ways, choosing to study Data Science was a bit of a gamble, since we were the first cohort to be given the opportunity. However, on reflection, when looking back at it after two years, I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions I have made. Despite the very specific sounding name, the course involves an interesting mix of statistics and computer science - two subjects that compliment each other very well, and provide a solid foundation for a wide range of careers ranging from software engineering to finance.

There is a great deal of flexibility offered in module selection, allowing you to keep your options open at first, but specialise as you gradually discover the areas in which you are most interested. Despite the course being challenging, there is still ample time to join some of the many societies and sports clubs offered, which personally have given me many amazing memories and have greatly enhanced my university experience!
