What does a career in data science involve?
Becoming a data scientist puts you at the forefront of the tech industry. With a mix of computer science and mathematics, data scientists immerse themselves in data.
You’ll be expected to data wrangle, gather and analyse all kinds of data and offer interpretations and discover notable trends. Companies and organisations will then use your findings in their strategies.
“The human mind does not have the ability to just look at tables and tables of data and just draw some conclusions. Data science is a logical way of being able to identify the structures that are inherent in that data, understanding the business problem, doing the analytics and then providing some sort of a solution” – Alena Crivello, Data Scientist at Chevron
It is an extremely well paid career with average salaries ranging from £75k to £220k+.
As a data scientist you will immediately benefit from:
- Opportunities to work for highly respected brands
- Job security
- Competitive salaries
- Work across a wide range of industries
- Innovative role with the chance to change the future of tech
