Work towards a Master’s at your own pace with our Flexible part-time pathway\ \ This Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) program is designed for those seeking a flexible, part-time route to achieving a full Master’s (MSc) degree. \ Starting with the PGCert, you will complete 60 CAT points. Upon successful completion, you will have the opportunity to progress to the MSc by undertaking the remaining 60 unit of taught modules plus the Summer Industry placement project module.\ \ This flexible structure allows you to balance your studies with your professional and personal commitments while still working toward a full MSc qualification.\ \ There is both local and global demand for expertise in data analytics which has been reiterated recently by e.g. the Belfast Regional City Deal and the Artificial Intelligence Northern Ireland Collaborative Centre, both of which are to be underpinned by data analytics.\ \ Those completing will be awarded a PgCert in Data Analytics and can commence entry-level data analytics roles (e.g. junior data scientist, data processor). Alternatively, they may, subject to capacity, progress directly into Year 2 of study on the part-time MSc in Data Analytics, and following successful completion, enter graduate-level roles (data scientist, data analyst, data analytics modeller, data engineer etc..).\ \ The course offers meaningful upskilling whilst increasing the supply of skills in an area of strategic economic need and importance.\ \ PLEASE NOTE:\ This course requires applicants to have significant mathematical ability.  Although there will be no requirement to take an aptitude test for this course, the link below will indicate the level of mathematical ability required for the course:  https://www.admissionstesting.org/for-test-takers/test-of-mathematics-for-university-admission/preparation/
