Is there a difference between Bsc data science and Bsc data analytics? If so , whats the difference between them and which cousrse is good to study and has a good scope
hello,
while many people use the terms data sciences and data analytics changeably, there is a major difference between them. both of the functions of these two professions are highly interconnected, though. here are some of the major differences between the two:
- scope: macro for data science, micro for data analytics.
- goal: the goal of a data scientist is to ask the right questions , and for a data analytics professional is to find actionable data.
- areas of work: machine learning, artificial intelligence, search engine engineering analytics, corporate analytics are the major fields of data science. healthcare, gaming, industry, travel are the major fields for data analytics professionals.
- both of these professions require the use of big data analysis.
- average starting salary for a data scientist is 6-10 lakhs per annum. in data analytics, this value is 4-8 lakhs per annum.
- data scientists gather large amounts of structured/unstructured data and convert it into actionable insights. they identify the data analytics techniques that are responsible for the growth of organizations. however, data analysts work in analyzing business data to identify correlations among them and discover valuable patterns from different data points. They also work with customer algorithm models and personalize them to fit customer requirements.
Thankyou.
