Master of Science in Mathematics and Data Science

Program Overview

Mathematics and data science are closely connected. Data science methodologies are built on mathematical principles. Understanding them is crucial for aspiring data scientists (source: Institute of Data 2023).

The demand for graduates in this field is growing rapidly fuelled by advances in technology and the increasing importance of data (Data Science Jobs, 2025). Employers seek individuals with computing skills to manage data and mathematical skills to analyse it. This involves identifying patterns, building models, and making predictions.

Our Masters degree in Mathematics and Data Science  emphasises the practical application of mathematics for data science. You’ll develop skills that are highly sought after in the data industry.
