The OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Data Science is a postgraduate-level qualification designed to develop advanced knowledge and practical skills in data analysis, statistical methods, predictive modelling, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
The programme focuses on extracting meaningful insights from complex datasets and using evidence to support business decisions, identify opportunities and solve organisational problems.
Learners explore the foundations of data science, probability and statistics, predictive analytics, data visualisation, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced computing research methods.
Demonstrate advanced understanding of data science concepts and applications. Evaluate data quality, data sources and governance requirements. Apply probability and statistical methods to data analysis. Select and evaluate predictive modelling and forecasting techniques. Prepare, analyse and visualise complex datasets. Apply appropriate data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. Interpret analytical results and communicate data-driven insights. Evaluate model performance and recognise limitations or potential bias. Consider ethical, privacy and responsible-data requirements. Formulate research questions and select appropriate research methods. Analyse evidence and present defensible research conclusions. Communicate findings and recommendations to technical and business audiences. Identify opportunities for further postgraduate study and professional development.
Applicants should hold an honours degree in a related subject, a UK Level 6 Diploma or an equivalent overseas qualification. Applicants must be at least 21 years old at the beginning of the course. Mature applicants with relevant management experience may be considered by the delivery centre. Applicants must provide evidence of English-language competency where required by OTHM. A background in computing, IT, mathematics, statistics or a related subject is recommended. Basic programming and quantitative reasoning skills are beneficial for advanced data science study. Learners should be prepared for independent research, analytical assignments and academic report writing. Admission is subject to verification of qualifications, experience and the current OTHM entry requirements.
