Currently, there are thousands of job openings
that relate to Data Science and Analytics
and this programme
is specifically designed to address
the shortage in employment.
Studying Data Science is an amazing experience,
after looking through many programmes
I found that programme is the most suitable one for me
because it has the flexibility to
customise the modules according to my needs.
It’s very hands-on where you learn the theory
and then you understand how it’s applied,
so you then have a list of modules which you can
pick from and you can then design it to what you like.
The students are taught by 
modules from the School of Mathematics,
School of Computer Science,
and depending on their specialisation,
School of Geography as well as Business School.
Each one of us can find
ourselves a speciality,
working in Health, Data Science,
my colleague is working in Financial Data Science,
and so on.
There’s an emphasis on applicability,
the Business School courses I’m doing
are really good because we do a lecture in the morning
and then in the afternoon,
we do an application of it in a seminar.
You can really see how it’s applied.
What I like more in these modules is
that they invite a few different companies
to make us work in real life issues in the market.
Many employers will require skills
that we try to provide with this programme,
in particular the healthcare
and banking sector, that require
data analytics for their marketing.
We have a link with the
Leeds Institute for Data Analytics,
we have some research projects that
the students will do in collaboration with LIDA
and we have a collaboration
with the Department of Health.
The continuous support to find a perfect job for you
is amazing and to have that is
such a wonderful opportunity for any student.
Studying in this school is amazing
as a programme itself
but choosing the University of Leeds
as your university,
it has so many advantages.
It’s a really good university, one thing I really
enjoy when coming on campus is
the positive energy you get on campus.
