Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Data Science and Analytics] From University College Cork

The BSc in Data Science & Analytics at UCC provides an education in data storage, manipulation and interpretation using mathematical sciences and computational methods to solve complex real world problems.

In first and second year, students study the mathematical and computational foundations of data science and analytics.

In third year, students begin applying the fundamentals of data science and analytics to real life problems and data. That year is then completed with a six-month work placement (paid in most cases) providing an opportunity to apply the skills learnt in a work-place environment.

In fourth year, students choose specialised modules and undertake an independent project which enables them to investigate more applied elements of the discipline.

Companies are currently seeking graduates with data analytics skills to fill a range of positions including firms specialising in analytics, financial services and consulting, and governmental agencies.
