• You will learn the core algorithms underpinning data processing and develop analytical skills with statistical technologies to create solutions and applications in big data.

• Gain valuable skills and the ability to design intricate algorithms and visualisations from large unstructured data.

• Elicit, analyse, and specify requirements and master the mathematical and analytical foundations underpinning data.

• The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits our computing degree programmes. As this programme was extensively updated in 2019, it has a current designation of Initial Full Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and Partial Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation for the 2019 intake. The accreditation status is expected to be confirmed in autumn 2022 after the first cohort of students graduate. Students will be kept updated on the status of this, in the very unlikely event that this does not progress as expected the university will support students with individual BCS membership applications at the point of graduation.

All degree courses are made up of modules – individual units of study on different topics. Some modules are compulsory; others can be chosen from a list of options.
