Overview

The Data Scientist (Degree Apprenticeship) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree that combines mathematics, statistics, software engineering, communication and domain-specific knowledge to extract insights and value from data.  

Data Scientists use their diverse skills to solve complex problems and improve processes by analysing and visualising data. They communicate findings to both technical and non- technical audiences, make strategic recommendations, and handle data ethically. They continually seek new techniques and tools, perform statistical analysis, build models, and maintain robust data solutions to achieve organisational goals.

On completion of your apprenticeship you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) Data Science (Degree Apprenticeship).

The University of Suffolk is world-class and committed to our region. We are proudly modern and innovative and we believe in transformative education. We are on the rise with a focus on student satisfaction, graduate prospects, spending on academic services and student facilities.
