This four-year variant includes a paid placement in business or industry for the duration of your third year, working on a substantial project and gaining first-hand experience of the practical application of data science. The placement gives you the opportunity to put into practice some of the things you will have learned in the first two years and to enter your final year with the insights from your practical experience in the field.
