Level 3 Diploma in Data Science
Start your journey in data science with the Level 3 Diploma. Learn data analysis, programming, statistics, and AI fundamentals with pathways to higher education.
Programme overview
The Level 3 Diploma provides a contemporary and holistic overview of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, from the birth of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the late 1950s, to the dawn of the “big data” era in the early 2000s, to the current applications of AI and machine learning and the various challenges associated with them. In addition to the standard machine learning models of linear and logistic regression, decision trees and k-means clustering, the diploma introduces learners to two new exciting and emerging areas of data science: synthetic data and graph data science.
This qualification consists of 15 key modules, designed to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical experience .
Graduates of the Level 3 Diploma in Data Science can pursue entry-level roles such as:
Additionally, students can progress to the Level 5 Extended in Information Technology , which leads student to final year of BSc (Hons) Computer Science or BSc Software Engineering degree further enhancing their qualifications for higher education.
