Data Science BSc(Hons): Recognition and accreditation

The data science degree course is interdisciplinary in nature and therefore (partially) satisfies the requirements of the computing, mathematics and statistics professions, allowing students to play to their strengths as their career preferences solidify. Students can choose to join the British Computer Society (BCS), Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and/or the Royal Statistics Society (RSS) as student members. After graduation a period of relevant employment can lead to membership of one or more professional bodies and may lead to chartered status and ultimately fellowship of such bodies.
