Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) in Data Science

Data is the most critical element in the operation of any organization. Data Systems are being deployed by effective organizations for the collection, systematization, storage, and communication of information. The need to do so has never been greater than in the current digital era of the big data deluge, characterized by volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Traditional methods of handling data are no longer sufficient. Effective application of data systems is a challenge faced by organizations of all sizes, big or small, locally and abroad.

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses approaches to extract knowledge or insights from data. It is an exciting field with tremendous opportunities to improve the quality of life for people across the world. Data Science applies to a broad range of areas, such as medical/health sciences, finance, business and retails, natural sciences, and social sciences. Data Science graduates are, therefore, an indispensable resource for any organization.
