Data Science is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of employment globally, due to fast-paced and ongoing developments in computer systems and data gathering. Large data sets are widespread in business, science and government. This conversion course is part of the government's response to the shortage of data science and artificial intelligence specialists in the UK. It aims to help students without strong backgrounds in programming or statistics to acquire a level of skill in these areas and learning to apply them. Please note that this course will begin earlier than other Kingston courses, to allow us to deliver a two-week ‘boot camp' of intensive pre-sessional teaching, to equip you with the technical skills needed to complete the course.
