Studying a combined honours Biology and Data Science BSc will give you the opportunity to develop a breadth of knowledge and a wide range of skills in two fascinating subjects. Most of society's global challenges are connected to biology - from assessing the effect of medication on the human body to exploring methods to prevent species extinction. Studying Biology covers a range of fundamentals, as well as topics including physiology and anatomy, ecology and plant biology, and viruses and parasites.
In data science you will explore the fundamental concepts underlying the analysis of complex data together with techniques for applying these using a contemporary programming language. You will look at data science and its relationship with business analytics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence and examine the processes techniques used to extract information from raw data. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third years. From AI, data visualisation and deep learning, to investigating the real life applications of biology in the diagnosis, treatment and management of disease - you will develop the advanced knowledge and skills to carry out your own independent studies. |
