In this module, you will work on a research problem in the application of Data Science. You will apply your understanding of the underlying concepts of Data Science together with the methods and tools that you have learned to a problem in an applied field. The project will require understanding of the setting, a critical review of possible approaches, choice of appropriate methodology, an extended piece of data analysis and a clear and concise write up of the background, data, methodology, results and conclusions. This is an independent project, supervised by an expert from the relevant area, which culminates in writing a dissertation, describing the research and its results. Research topics can be selected from across the breadth of the application of Data Science and Supervisors may be based in either the Department Mathematics and Statistics or Computer Science.
