"[Before this course] I knew about mathematics, statistics and data analysis tools, but I didn’t have the skills to deal with Big Data. I looked for the right degree to get these skills [and] the University Of Portsmouth was the choice that suited my aspirations and needs." Chaimaa Ibnoucheikh, MSc Data Analytics
