Prof Doc Data Science

The Professional Doctorate in Data Science (D.DataSc) is aimed at professionals who wish to enhance and/or validate data-centric, evidence-based approaches within their chosen career through a combination of taught modules and doctoral research.
A cross-disciplinary approach is central to the delivery of this programme and is therefore suitable for professionals in a broad range of professional disciplines and areas of employment.
The ability to take data - to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it - that's going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades. (Hal Varian, Chief Economist at Google).
The programme is unique, international, and ground-breaking in offering a Professional Doctorate qualification in Data Science. D.DataSc is an earned doctorate that allows the holder to use the title 'Dr'.
Our doctoral research course focuses on pure or applied aspects of data science, with each student studying data from within their main discipline or area of employment. You will learn reflective and analytic approaches to data while engaging in your own data research.
The taught elements of the course include Data Ecology, Research Methods for Technologists, Applied Research Tools and Techniques, Spatial Data Analysis, Advanced Decision Making, Work-based Project Reviews and Planning for Doctoral Research.
This programme includes six taught modules and a Research Thesis and is available in full-time and part-time modes. Delivery of taught modules is by block and blended learning.

For those studying full-time, there are two years of research and for those studying part-time, it is two years of taught modules and three years of research.

This programme uniquely qualifies students in a field increasingly recognised as central to most professional areas and research. The research component provides a solid grounding in methods and engagement with leading-edge ideas. Job opportunities in data science are rising exponentially. Holders of a Professional Doctorate in Data Science will have the highest possible qualification in this area and prepare them for senior positions. They will also be eligible to apply for Royal Statistical Society membership.
