The majority of the above courses can be taken in isolation as Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD). The PPD option also permits students to build up credits to gain an award over a longer period (up to 2 years). Assessments 

Dissertation Projects (MSc students only)

Students must also complete a project (worth 60 credits) in the form of a written dissertation. This activity will allow students to draw from the combined experience of previous activities and interactions, and apply what they have learnt to a practical research question. The final submission will be expected to be at a level appropriate for an independent researcher and be a good indication of a student’s potential to go on to be a productive researcher in a relevant sub-discipline of Data Science.  (Only available to students enrolled on the MSc programme.)
