Study Data Science to develop technical skills in computing technologies, statistics, and mathematics and work with real data sets to develop a practical understanding of the social dimensions of data. You’ll assess the ethics of data collection and use, question privacy and security issues, learn about the importance of communicating effectively with data and gain an overall understanding of the consequences of the data revolution.
As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you beyond the lecture theatre with hands-on laboratories, field trips, and summer scholarship opportunities.
