Higher Certificate in Data Science

National College of Ireland

NCI’s Higher Certificate in Data Science uses a blend of computer science and data science to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to carry out data modelling, data management and data analysis activities, and to interpret and communicate that data to a variety of audiences. The programme gives you the Mathematics, programming and problem-solving skills required to exploit data in addressing real-world problems. You will also develop your problem solving, teamwork, critical thinking and communication skills.Graduates of this course can identify, clean, integrate, select, transform, and mine different types of datasets with consideration of ethical, privacy and data protection issues, in order to summarise and present new knowledge design, implement and document algorithmic solutions that demonstrate use of processes, methodologies, tools and techniques that solve known problems and utilise statistical analysis, modelling, data mining and machine learning tools and techniques to analyse datasets.
