Master In Data Science
We know the amount of data produced globally daily is 2.5 quintillion bytes, which is enormous and is expected to keep increasing as the world’s population gets more access to the internet. The data is now considered a commodity that is more valuable than oil, and buried in these data are answers to countless questions. Data Science helps to deal with these vast volumes of data using modern tools and techniques to find unseen patterns, derive meaningful information, and make business decisions. When the opportunity in data science comes knocking at your door, will you be ready?

Modules
Module Description
This module inculcates practical understanding and a framework that allows the execution of essential analytics actions such as extracting, cleaning, changing, and analysing data. In this module, learners grasp the knowledge of programming languages, tools, frameworks, and libraries utilised throughout the course to acquire and model data sets. Data analysis is accomplished through visualising, summarising, and developing rudimentary data handling abilities by paying attention to variable types, names, and values. In addition, managing data using dates, strings, and other elements, enhances learners’ abilities to perform data research and generate visualisations.
