Overview

Softwarica College of IT and Ecommerce offers a two-year full-time Master's Degree program MSc Data Science and Computational Intelligence which is affiliated with Coventry University.

 The overall aim of the MSc in Data Science and Computational  Intelligence is to:

  • Deliver advanced theoretical and practical subjects  across a range of specialist areas in data science and computational
    the intelligence which is greatly demanded in a wide range of research and industrial applications;
  • Enable students to enhance their analytical, problem solving, critical communication, and presentation skills in the context
    of their taught modules and develop the ability to analyze, evaluate and model complex problems involving large amounts of data;
  • Advance the skills and knowledge acquired through previous study and experience in cutting-edge research and technologies and enhance
    students’ transferable and professional skills and, thereby, their employment prospects;
  • Provide specialist skills and in-depth knowledge essential for graduates to develop and adapt to the challenges in the field of
    data science;
  • Enable students to analyze and critique the central and current research problems in data science and computational
    intelligence;
  • Enable students to operate as effective independent researchers and/or consultants in their chosen specialized aspect of the course;
  • Enhance the awareness of the professional, legal, ethical, and social issues along with commercial risk and management in the role of a
    data science professional.
  • Enable students to adapt to future changes in technology in data science and computational intelligence areas.  

On successful completion of the course student will be proficient in:

  • Data analysis and analytics
  • Statistical analysis
  • Machine learning algorithms
  • Artificial neural networks
  • Deep learning
  • Big data management systems
  • Research skills for advanced data science and computational intelligence

This course will be delivered in the following structure:

Title Credit Value Description

Individual Research Project Preparation 15 Research skills, Research methodology, Reporting, Legal, Ethical and Social context
Computing Individual Research Project 60 The project can be a solution to a practical industry requirement or focus on a research topic. It will require investigation and research as core activities, leading to analysis, final summations and insightful recommendations. The project will culminate in a comprehensive, thorough and professional report, documenting the approach, conduct and outcomes of the project, further supported with a critical review of the project conduct and management. It is intended that students will be given an opportunity to specialise in an area of interest, relevant and useful for future career prospects.
