Data Science

This major is available in the Bachelor of Science.

In the Data Science major, you’ll build statistical and computational foundations to work with real-world data at scale.

Major structure

The Data Science major is made up of eight subjects (100 credit points) taken in your second and third year. Each subject is worth 12.5 credit points. Level 2 subjects are usually taken in second year, and Level 3 subjects in third year.

To complete this major, you’ll need:

• 37.5 credit points of Level 2 major core
• 12.5 credit points of Level 2 major electives
• 37.5 credit points of Level 3 major core

The rest of your degree will consist of a Level 1 science core subject, your choice of elective subjects in science, and breadth (non-science) subjects.
