The foundation year provides a supportive environment to develop essential academic skills, problem-solving abilities, and a solid understanding of core Data Science concepts, including programming, mathematics, and computing fundamentals.
This preparatory year ensures you are fully equipped to progress to Year 1, where you will tackle more advanced technical modules such as Data Programming and Data Analytics.
​
With the increasing demand for tech talent driven by data growth, cyber security challenges, and cloud computing expansion, UK employers are competing fiercely for skilled professionals (Opus Talent Solutions, 2025).
This programme equips you with the knowledge and practical skills to meet these industry demands and sets you on a path toward a rewarding career in the ever-evolving world of Data Science.
