Overview
This page covers Statistics & Data Science across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Computing is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
