Designed for ambitious graduates from all backgrounds

You don’t need a computing degree to get started – just curiosity, motivation and a passion for working with data. This conversion course is ideal for graduates from a wide range of disciplines who are ready to step into the world of data. Whether your background is in business, social sciences, engineering, or the arts, you’ll join a vibrant, multidisciplinary cohort of students and develop the technical and analytical skills needed to collaborate confidently across industries.

You’ll work alongside peers and industry experts on real-world challenges, building connections that go far beyond the classroom. Through interdisciplinary teamwork, you’ll learn to tackle complex problems head-on, building the kind of experience employers value most.

Develop in-demand technical skills

The programme blends rigorous technical training with practical application. You’ll build a strong foundation in:

• Programming and data analysis
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Data mining
• Statistical modelling

Alongside this, you can explore areas such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, and digital forensics—broadening your expertise and keeping your skillset aligned with industry needs.

From day one, you’ll learn to think like a data scientist, applying your skills to industry scenarios and global challenges.

As part of the Institute for Digital Technologies, you’ll be immersed in a research-led community at the forefront of areas like AI, autonomous systems, blockchain, IoT and digital health.
