Turning mass information into
forward-thinking data

Master of Science in Data Analytics

Overview

Every second of everyday, 1.7MB of data is created by every person. In the last 2 years alone, the world created 90% of today’s data. Data analytics is the science of analyzing raw data in order to make conclusions about that information. 

On this 1-year part-time Data Analytics MSc, you’ll be introduced to subjects including data mining, statistical modelling, business intelligence and data visualisation. The course has been developed with direct input from industry experts who’ll present you with real-life business cases as part of your work-related learning.

By the end of the MSc degree, you’ll be ready to apply for rewarding roles in the data science and big data industries, as well as the many sectors and organisations that increasingly require data analysts.

Programme Structure

Structured around the work commitments and priorities of working professionals, the 1-year (part time) London Metropolitan MSc Data Analytics includes 6 modules and a project

Syllabus

Data Mining For Business Intelligence

This module provides an appreciation of data mining concepts, techniques, and process for business Intelligence. It covers data mining techniques for both supervised learning (decision tree, logistic regression and neural network models) and unsupervised learning (cluster and association analyses). It is designed to help equip the students with practical skills in applying data mining techniques in a modern business environment.

Data Modelling And OLAP Techniques For Data Analytics

The module provides an introduction to relational data modelling and multidimensional data modelling techniques for data analytics. It enables students to acquire skills in advanced SQL and OLAP operations (OLAP cube, rollup, drill-down, slice and dice and pivot). The module is designed to help students with practical skills in preparing data for analysis which usually takes 50%-70% of data analytical project time. Big Data analytics platforms will also be introduced.

Programming For Data Analytics

This module develops students’ foundation of programming principles through the introduction of application programming for data analytics. The module covers common programming data structures, flow controls, data input and output, and error handling. In particular, the module places emphasis on data manipulation and presentation for data analysis. A substantial practical element is integrated into the module to enable students to use a programming language (e.g. Python) to prepare data for analysis and develop data analytical applications.

Data Analysis And Visualization

This module explores fundamental concepts for analysing and visualising data. The module covers descriptive statistics for exploratory data analysis, correlation analysis and linear regression model. Graph and text data analysing techniques for web and big data and reporting the results and presenting the data with visualisation techniques are also discussed. A substantial practical element is integrated into the module to enable students to apply data analysis and visualisation techniques for real world data analytical problems.

Statistical Modelling And Forecasting

This module will introduce students to modern statistical modelling techniques and how those techniques can be used for prediction and forecasting. Throughout the statistical environment and software R will be used in conjunction with relevant statistical libraries.
The module will, introduce modern regression techniques (including smoothing), discuss different model selection techniques (including the classical statistical hypothesis) and how those techniques can be used for prediction purpose.

MSc Project

The module provides students with the experience of planning and bringing to fruition a major piece of individual work. Also, the module aims to encourage and reward individual inventiveness and application of effort through working on research or company/local government projects. The project is an exercise that may take a variety of forms depending on the nature of the project and the subject area.

Assessment

The course is assessed in a number of ways including written reports, practical and research assignments, demonstrations, presentations, group work and examinations.

Delivery Structure

Each module is delivered over two consecutive full weekends (Sat & Sun, 9am to 5.30pm) per month by qualified academia with extensive years of professional practice experience. You will learn through means of interactive lectures, experiential skill workshops, and group discussions / role plays.
