Are you interested in how we make sense of the terabytes of information that our computers are collecting daily? Do you want to gain the skills to predict what people will buy, or where we need to put more resource for efficiency and organisation? There is a rapidly growing demand for people who can analyse and make sense of the data that is now available. Our degree in Data Science is an ideal start to working in this area.

Why study Data Science at Aberystwyth?

  • This course is taught jointly by the Department of Computer Science which is 11th in UK for Research Intensity (Times Higher Education) and the Department of Mathematics. Mathematics has been taught at Aberystwyth University since 1872, making the university the first in Wales to teach this subject. Our established heritage alongside our strong research based teaching ensures an innovative and stimulating experience.
  •  You will be studying in a University that is ranked in the top 4 in the UK and 1st in Wales for student satisfaction (NSS, 2016).
  •  The combination of the modules delivered by the Mathematics and Computer Science department will give you a strong grounding in the underlying theory of Data Science as well as the practical skills to be able to apply that theory in real world data analytics.
  • Upon successful completion of this degree, you will be able to design and carry out analysis of large sets of data and can draw implications from the results.  This course will allow you to understand how data collected by companies can have a large effect on their operations.
Ein Staff

Mae gan bron bob un o ddarlithwyr a chymrodyr dysgu’r Adran Cyfrifiadureg gymwysterau hyd at safon PhD, ac mae gan y gweddill brofiad helaeth ym maes ymchwil neu ddiwydiant. Mae'n rhaid i bob darlithydd a chymrawd dysgu newydd ennill cymhwyster TUAAU, ac felly maent yn Gymrodyr Uwch neu'n Gymrodyr o'r Academi Addysg Uwch. Mae'r adran hefyd yn cyflogi nifer o staff arddangos a thiwtoriaid rhan amser a rhai arddangoswyr sy'n fyfyrwyr, wedi’u dewis o blith ein hisraddedigion a'n huwchraddedigion.  Mae ein cymrodyr ymchwil a'n cynorthwywyr ymchwil (y rhan fwyaf ohonynt â gradd PhD) hefyd yn gwneud rhywfaint o waith dysgu o bryd i'w gilydd pan fo hynny'n briodol.

Mae’r holl ddarlithwyr yn yr Adran Mathemateg wedi’u cymhwyso i lefel PhD ac yn weithgar ym myd ymchwil. Mae gan y rhan fwyaf gymhwyster addysgu uwchraddedig ac mae’n rhaid i staff newydd gwblhau’r TUAAU. Mae’r adran hefyd yn cyflogi nifer o diwtoriaid rhan-amser, sydd â phrofiad dysgu eang, a rhai arddangoswyr sy’n cael eu dewis o blith ein myfyrwyr israddedig ac uwchraddedig.

Modiwlau

Noder: Y modiwlau a restrir isod yw'r modiwlau y bwriedir eu cyflwyno ar hyn o bryd yn ystod y flwyddyn academaidd nesaf ac mae'n bosibl y gallant newid. Maent wedi'u cynnwys yma i roi syniad o strwythur y cwrs.

Career Prospects

There is a shortage of skilled Data Scientists, which means that graduates in this area are in demand! One study estimates that around 200,000 Data Scientists will be needed.

 Forbes Magazine labelled Data Scientist as “the sexiest job of the 21st century.”

The role of Data Scientist is finding and interpreting patterns in big data, and needs an excellent understanding of statistics and good computing skills. 

Our graduates have found employment with employers such as:

  • IBM
  • HP
  • Gloversure
  • Plymouth Marine Laboratories
  • CERN
  • Walt Disney
  • GCHQ 

Transferable skills:

During your first year, you will have the opportunity to take part in a weekend of activities in Gregynog hall nearby Aberystwyth. This residential weekend will focus on:

  • Group activities
  • Communication skills
  • Good time management 
  • Creative thinking 

Work experience opportunities

Students who are interested in completing a work experience placement should consider our sister course BSc Data Science with integrated year in industry (7G74). This sister course has an identical syllabus to 7G73, however you will have an additional year to undertake a year in industry. 

As a student here, you will be able to take advantage of the various opportunities that exist such as AberWorks, AberForward, YES and Go Wales.

 The department supports students seeking voluntary work, particularly in the teaching of mathematics in all sectors. Further information can be obtained from the department. 

Addysg a Dysgu

What will I learn?

  • In the first year, you will combine modules in programming and software with fundamental mathematics and statistics.
  • In the second year you will extend your knowledge of statistics alongside data analysis and databases.
  • In the final year you will bring your study together in a major individual project, covering a realistic data analysis problem, in addition to core and elective modules in statistics and computing.

How will I be taught?

  • You will be taught by enthusiastic staff through a complementary set of teaching and learning methods and approaches, ranging from formal lectures, seminars and tutorials to practicals and individual and group-based project work.
  • You will be assessed through a combination of coursework, practicals, projects, workshops and examinations.
    You will be assigned a personal tutor throughout your degree course, who will help you with any problems or queries, whether these are academic-related or personal issues. You should feel free to contact them at any time for help and advice.
  • You will also have the opportunity to complete a Personal Development Plan (PDP) at Aberystwyth. This is a structured process of self-appraisal, reflection, and planning, which will enable you to chart your personal, academic and professional development throughout your time at university. By recording your academic performance, and highlighting the skills you already have and those you will need for future employability, the PDP portfolio will equip you with the necessary tools to plan effectively, develop successful approaches to study, and consider your future career options and aspirations.
