Studying Data Science and Neuroscience at Keele will give you the opportunity to develop a breadth of knowledge and a wide range of skills in two fascinating subjects. Initial modules will provide you with a grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of both disciplines. In Data Science you will explore the fundamental concepts underlying computer programming 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.
In Neuroscience you will explore a mixture of core modules that will provide you with an understanding of the basic biological techniques in addition to an introduction to the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. During your first and second year, you will take laboratory classes most weeks to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third years. From Artificial Intelligence (AI), data visualisation and deep learning to how the brain develops, the mechanisms underlying learning and memory and what can go wrong in terms of brain injury - you will develop the advanced knowledge and skills to carry out your own independent studies. |
