Course Overview

Data Science has found applications across industry sectors, with businesses seeking to generate value from data using artificial intelligence and machine learning. The full economic and societal benefits have yet to be reaped. These benefits are enormous, particularly when combined with other emergent technologies such as AR/VR for data-driven design and production processes in key industries. Embedding AI across the UK will create thousands of high-quality jobs and drive economic growth.

Our application areas of Data Science are aligned with our key strengths in Games and Cyber Security. We are exploring how AI and neural networks can generate content for games, and how data analytics can improve the player experience.

We are also applying state-of-the-art Machine Learning models for intrusion detection systems. Our expertise is broadening its reach into areas including health, community, and social care. The majority of our research projects are rooted in client-facing, real-world problems faced by games companies, charities, innovation centers, and more.

Our vibrant research culture encourages areas of cross- and inter-disciplinary working. An example of this is a collaboration between psychology and data science where data analytics are applied to understand how people learn through game-based learning.
