Module lecturers:Dr Deborah Goodwin OBE

The success of data science within an organisation depends not only upon a good understanding of the technical skills involved in data science and machine learning, but also on the ability of the data scientist to identify projects that offer business value. They must then be able to promote any data science projects to stakeholders, plan a project and negotiate with colleagues to ensure its successful delivery. This module will provide you with the business knowledge and awareness to achieve these goals effectively.
 
This module is one of two professional practice modules and will explore organisational structures and objectives and how you contribute towards meeting these objectives including continued professional development personally and for your organisation.
 
This module is a part of the dual-qualification  MSc Data Science (Professional) / Level 7 Research Scientist Apprenticeship programme. It cannot be taken as an elective by students on other programmes.
