COMP30800 Data Science Team Project

Academic Year 2023/2024

In this module, students will have an opportunity to put their data science skills into practice by implementing a substantial data science project of their own design, which may have a strong connection to their area of major study. Typically this will involve working on a dataset(s) to investigate a meaningful set of research questions, which may be answered from the data. Students are free, within reason, to follow their own interests, and expertise, when it comes to selecting a suitable project topic and dataset. The project is a collaborative one, and will typically involve groups of 3-4 students working together on all aspects of the project, from data capture and preparation, through to analysis, and results presentation.
