Data Science BSc(Hons)

The BSc (Hons) Data Science at the University of Brighton is a forward-looking degree designed to equip students with the analytical, statistical, and computational skills needed to extract meaningful insights from data. In an increasingly data-driven world, this programme prepares graduates to solve complex real-world problems using data analysis, machine learning, and modern computing techniques.Students develop a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, programming, and data management, along with advanced skills in data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data technologies, and data visualisation. The course also covers essential areas such as databases, data engineering, predictive modelling, and ethical considerations in data use.A key focus of the programme is hands-on learning. Students work with industry-standard tools and programming languages such as Python and R, applying their knowledge to real datasets and practical case studies. They learn how to clean, process, analyse, and interpret large volumes of data, and how to present insights clearly to support decision-making in business, science, healthcare, and technology sectors.
