The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Data Science is an undergraduate program that equips students with the mathematical and computational foundations needed for a career as a data scientist. This program exposes you to real-world applications of data science across various fields. To earn the degree, students complete coursework alongside hands-on learning experiences like research projects, practicums, and internships.
Whether your passion lies in precision medicine, environmental datasets, business analytics, or complex systems analysis, you'll master computational and mathematical techniques for working with data.
The curriculum encompasses machine learning, data science technologies, and analytics, alongside core computer science and mathematics courses including data structures, AI, neural networks, and statistics. This comprehensive program addresses every stage of the data science pipeline: collection, storage, processing, analysis, and visualization.
Our programs place significant emphasis on undergraduate research. Honours Specialization students must complete either a third-year practicum plus a fourth-year research course or two fourth-year research courses.
Practicum courses provide work-integrated learning through internships or applied university projects. Additional experiential learning occurs through course-based projects, presentations, case studies, and problem-solving exercises.
With technology and data permeating every aspect of modern life, data science professionals are highly sought after. Graduates will be prepared for roles including data analyst, financial advisor, statistician, business analyst, software developer, and market researcher.
