Hi there! I'll do my best to inform you about the MSc here at UH...

Our computer science department is one of the oldest in the country - the first course was offered in the 60s! As for the data science course, it builds on the strong research base the university has. There's a good mix of practical and theoretical work as you study the maths behind data analytics as well the practical application. The university has three dedicated computer labs with all-new PCs fitted just this year, as well as the Learning Resources Centre, so there's plenty of opportunity to get some practice in as well!

As well as this the course gives you the opportunity to take a placement year as part of the course. This is a great way of applying what you have learned in class to the 'real world', and can improve your chances of attaining a grad role once you complete your course. The careers department at uni is great and will help you get the right role either way.

Hope that helps a bit - if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi @Ashwin G

Hope your research is going well :smile:

.

A bit of info on our MSc Data Science here at Teesside.

There are three routes you can choose from with this course:

full-time - 2 years with advanced practice (September and January start)
full-time - 1 year (September start) or 16 months (January start)
part-time - 2 years.

You can see a list of all core modules here. If you opt for the advanced practice module you have the option of doing a year-long internship - vocational or research-based. This gives you a great opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice, boost your CV and prepare for employment.

A particularly good thing about this programme is that in addition to your taught classes, we create opportunities for you to meet and network with our industry partners through events such as our ExpoSeries, which showcases student work to industry. ExpoTees is the pinnacle of the ExpoSeries with over 100 businesses from across the UK coming to the campus to meet our exceptional students, with a view to recruitment. Lots of students meet their future employers at this event - it's a brilliant chance to get the career you want.

Hope this helps.
