Msc of data science at the university of Sussex.

Hi, I am currently half way through this course as I opted for the part time route. My general impression of it so far is that it has not been greatly integrated across modules and sort of merged from previously existing modules. Also, given I started on the first year of the course being run, there have been a few teething issues but nothing major. Don't let this dishearten you however, I would say that despite these negatives the general quality and difficulty of the course has impressed me. It is a really tough course, and will definitely improve your data science skills. I would advise to come into this course to make the most out of it with a strong understanding of linear algebra as well as being an intermediate programmer. These are two prerequisites for the majority of material taught, and really put me behind in some areas when trying to learn the new material. I would say if you are looking to be really technically challenged and learn the principles of data science this course is for you.

hey, could I ask what background you come from and what you would want to do with this degree? I want to also possible start this course in September. I am from a Biochemistry background and have an unconditional offer, I want to potentially go into an analytics career. I am worried that this course will be really difficult and I dont want to go into a course I wont do well in, if you put in the effort is it achievable to do well!
