Academic Requirements:

For Near-STEM students, the normal entry requirements for the programme are a good (2:1 or above) Honours Degree (or equivalent) in a STEM subject (e.g. Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Sciences etc). If a student has a relevant STEM degree, then they will be considered ‘Near-STEM’. They will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Data Science Core Skills bootcamp but will not be required to participate/attend.

For Far-STEM students, the normal entry requirements for the programme are a good (2:1 or above) Honours Degree (or equivalent). The subject of the degree is not defined, since (a) many different, disparate subjects might have a Data Science relevance (e.g. Business, Geography), and (b) some students might possess a non- STEM degree but have relevant experience (e.g. from employment). For far-STEM students who do not possess a good Honours Degree or equivalent, applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants may be asked to submit a short portfolio providing evidence of:

A basic level of numeracy (e.g. GCSE maths)
Experience and competency with IT / software (e.g. use of Microsoft Excel)
Experience of a basic interaction with data of any form (e.g. inputting values, making calculations, examining imaging, etc.)
