BA/BS in Data Science and Big Data Technology

The Data Science and Big Data Technology programme was established to meet regional demand for big data professionals. Students study statistics, data science foundations, database principles, data structures, distributed systems and cloud computing, together with Python programming and data visualisation. Applied modules address health, medical and industrial internet data. The programme sits within a big data industry college formed with technology partners, which supports joint teaching and project work. Graduates are prepared for roles in data collection and preprocessing, data storage and management, analytics and platform operations, and may continue to postgraduate study in related fields. Students work with datasets in laboratories for big data, artificial intelligence and databases, and they complete enterprise integrated training before graduation. Health, medical and industrial data form part of the applied learning focus.
