Data Science: research doctorate records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Data Science, General.

A program that focuses on the analysis of large scale data sources from the interdisciplinary perspectives of applied statistics, computer science, data storage, data representation, data modeling, mathematics, and statistics. Includes instruction in computer algorithms, computer programming, data management, data mining, information policy, information retrieval, mathematical modeling, quantitative analysis, statistics, trend spotting, and visual analytics.

Compare statistics, mathematics, computing and domain preparation on the current course list. Other data-focused qualifications can use separate statistics, computing or interdisciplinary classifications.

This selection is the source research/scholarship doctorate category, award level 17. The file does not provide the exact degree title, so it does not identify every award as a PhD or confirm a supervisor, research opening or funding offer. Verify the actual qualification and current research application route.
