MSc Statistical Data Science

The goal of the UCD MSc Statistical Data Science is to train the new generation of data scientists, by empowering them with a broad range of foundational and applied skills in statistics and machine learning.

This programme is aimed at students who have an undergraduate degree in statistics or in a related numerate degree, such as economics, finance, mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, among others.

The MSc Statistical Data Science is ideal for students interested in data science careers in industry, business, government, or to those interested in pursuing a subsequent PhD in statistics or related areas.

In this programme, you will learn how to design, use and interpret a variety of statistical modelling tools, combining the fundamental theory of statistics with modern computational techniques. The programme is underpinned by several thematic areas:

- Data Science: in several of our modules, you will tackle on modern real-world problems, using a variety of advanced techniques that are common in statistics and machine learning. Modules examples: Statistical Machine Learning, Data Mining, Advanced Predictive Analytics.

- Computing: you will learn how to design and implement efficient algorithms, through various data science programming languages and software that are commonly used in industry and research. Modules examples: Data Programming, Optimisation, Machine Learning with Python.

- Fundamental theory: you will cover the fundamental aspects of mathematical statistics and learn how this is used in data science to develop new methods and concepts. Modules examples: Mathematical Statistics, Multivariate Analysis, Stochastic Models.

- Communication: you will learn how to study and interpret statistical analyses, and also how to effectively communicate your conclusions. Modules examples: Technical Communication, Applied Statistical Modelling, Dissertation.
