“My program enables me to work with the datasets to extract useful information out of the raw data and build data-driven applications around that. My experience at the University has been quite enriched, I have learnt to do multi-tasking and some serious time management as the projects, lectures and course works always kept me busy.
My favourite thing so far has been my stay on campus, as it is very green and beautiful, and I felt so connected to nature here."
Girish, from India, studying MSc Data Science with Artificial Intelligence
“The content of the course has been interesting; there’s a lot of different topics covered in all the modules which I really like as it’s fairly broad and comprehensive. Course content itself is good fun and can be challenging at times but this really helps you learn. The lecturer’s support on the modules has been really excellent; I’ve found some lecturers to be really engaging and are always happy to answer questions.
My biggest worry coming into the course was my level of programming; in the end, I found it fine and not a problem, I think the course eases you into it quite well which is nice to the point where I think programming is my strongest point."
