UCC's Bachelor of Science in Data Science is framed around the role data now plays in business decision-making, giving students mathematical, statistical, machine-learning and computer-science grounding so they can manage, visualise and interpret different types of data. Coursework spans data visualisation, database systems, data analysis, data mining and programming, alongside algorithmic reasoning.
The degree runs 124 credits over four years, reducible by up to two years for students entering with an Associate of Science qualification or equivalent advanced standing, and is delivered in a blended format.
Unconditional admission requires five GCE or CSEC subjects, including English and Mathematics, at grades A-C or 1-3, with CSEC grade 3 accepted since 1998. Four CXC passes allow conditional entry through UCC's replacement courses, a mature-entry route is open from age 25 with five years of work experience, and eight CXC/GCE Grade 1 passes including English and Mathematics earn a 25% first-year tuition waiver.
