BSc Honours Big Data Analytics
“Big Data” captures the idea of managing vast amounts of data using a variety of modern computing technologies and infrastructure from a variety of different sources. To manage, develop and understand the required technologies, people trained in the intersection of subjects ranging from statistics, information and computer science, system design and social sciences are needed. There are individuals who are able to leverage emerging technologies and interact with interdisciplinary teams of specialists.
An undergraduate BSc degree with a major in computer science or equivalent (NQF 7) is required and at least a second year in a mathematics equivalent. However, if you have a BSc degree and can show that your degree had a large computer science like component (data structures, databases, programming languages, algorithms) or that you have done additional course work such as a diploma in programming these will be considered.
