Aims and Characteristics
Programme Aims
The programme is concerned with turning large scale data into intelligence through the application of cutting-edge techniques in mathematics, statistics and computer science. The aim is to produce graduates with expertise that cuts across the core disciplines of mathematics, statistics and computer science. The programme emphasises the critical arc that runs from data to information, information to knowledge, and knowledge to decision making.
Characteristics
Our articulation programme is focused on the acquisition of analytical skills based on mathematics, statistics and computing, and their application to the management and analysis of data, as well as to the discovery of lawfulness from very large data sets or systems, now generally referred to as Big Data. Upon successful completion of the programme, students should be able to manage massive datasets and help to make appropriate decisions in whatever careers they pursue.
