Data Analytics MSc 2019/20

General information and guidance about the course is available in the handbook (local access only).

Students are required to take a load of 180 CATS credits. All students must take five core modules totalling 120 CATS, along with an additional 60 CATS from the optional list below.

Please note - Optional modules coded ES* and IM* are offered by external departments and places on these modules cannot be guaranteed. It is, therefore, important to register for these modules with Sharon Hayes in the Department of Computer Science - information about how to do it will be provided during the Induction session on 30 September 2019.

Information about applying for this course is also available.
