To do this a data scientist must be adept at both computing and statistics. This degree equips students with the computational and statistical knowledge and skills for designing machine learning systems for prediction and analysis of complex data relationships, storage and retrieval of big data, designing experimental studies, and building and fitting models for analysis, visualisation, estimation and prediction.
