MSc Data Analytics

* 该课程第三学期可以选择在纽约的华威大学和纽约大学合作的城市科学和发展中心（CUSP）进行学习研究；或者选择完成Dissertation Project，很多同学都有机会进入我们的工商业合作伙伴的公司进行工作，拓展自己个人和专业上的能力。

The Warwick Data Analytics MSc is a new MSc course that taps into the pulse of contemporary computer science. Data Analytics is a top national and international priority, needed in every sector from cybersecurity to retail. This course has a unique international flavour, as it is operated as part of Warwick's collaboration with the New York Centre for Urban Science and Progress.

In a recent report by e-Skills UK and SAS (Big Data Analytics: An assessment of the demand for labour and skills, 2012-2017), the demand forecast for staff with big data skills is predicted to rise by 92% between 2012 and 2017; this equates to an annual demand of approximately 28,000 positions per annum. In the same report, the demand for data scientists is said to have grown by 350% over the past five years. Remuneration levels are also good, with an advertised salary for permanent jobs in this field of around £52k per annum, compared with £43k for IT staff more generally.

Join us to learn about the core tools, techniques and applications in Data Analytics. Topics include foundations of data analytics, optimisation, machine learning, and sensors and wireless networks; encompassing data acquisition, integration and analysis.

Course Details

The course comprises a taught component in the first two terms, with a choice of modules from an engaging set of topics including:

·Foundations of Data Analytics

·Operational Research and Optimisation

·Data Mining

·Sensor Networks and Mobile Data Communications

·High Performance Computing

·Dynamic Web-based Systems

·Signal and Image Processing

·Computing Security

The taught component is followed by a dissertation project in the third term which offers the opportunity to specialise and explore areas of your interest in greater depth. Dissertations may be research focussed or directed to the applications of advanced topics in data analytics; many students conduct projects with industry partners.

The course is designed so that it can be taken with or without elements of the CUSP Advanced Certificate. Candidates interested in the New York based components should specify this on their application form.

Everyone applying for admission to this MSc course will be considered for the scholarships. Winners are typically announced in July.
