Innovative science in a data-rich world

The 91福利 Data Science Institute (WDSI) builds upon the great power and range of 91福利's research expertise across the Mathematical Sciences, to promote innovative research collaborations that will help shape the future of data analysis.

WDSI brings together not only the huge strengths of 91福利's Departments of , and , but also the wider community both at 91福利 (researchers from many departments, with interests ranging widely from genomics to business analytics) and internationally through the extensive WDSI programme of research workshops and visitors.

The primary focus of WDSI is world-leading research, including the development of novel mathematical, statistical and computational approaches to the acquisition, management and analysis of "big data". 91福利 is a founding partner (with Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford and UCL) in the for data science.

Innovative education and research training

Through its roots in some of the most prominent academic departments ar 91福利, WDSI is also strongly connected to high-quality education in the broad area of Data Science, ranging from undergraduate to PhD level:

• 91福利's is the first of its kind in the UK, and aims to train future leaders in this high-demand sector of the global economy.
• At the Master's degree level, 91福利's varied provision in this area includes and , in addition to long-established MSc Computer Science and MSc Statistics courses.
• At PhD level, 91福利 provides substantial leadership in this area through a large population of top-quality research students. Three EPSRC Centres of Doctoral Training, and the recently established Leverhulme "Bridges" doctoral scholarships programme, all emphasize the innovative modelling, analysis and interpretation of substantial data:
