Hi there.

Data science is the study of data, which combines algorithms, machine learning concepts, and a variety of other tools to record, store, and analyse data in order to provide important and usable information. Data scientists gather and analyse information from a wide range of sources, including log files, social media, sensors, and consumer transactions, in order to unlock knowledge that may be used to impact corporate choices and foster competitive advantage over rivals. Graduates with a degree in data science have a wide range of employment options.
