Level 6 Digital & Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship – Data Analytics Pathway

Data Analytics pathway

Innovation starts life in numbers. Data dictates where we go next. You’ll tell us what it’s saying. But first, we need to make you fluent in this unique language. By the end of the programme, you’ll understand data structures, software development procedures and analytical tools we use. This pathway will expose you to key areas including Data Science & Machine Learning and Business Analytics & Visualisation, and you could find yourself working within Information Digital and Technology (IDT), Engineering Operations (EO) or Engineering Body Chassis (EBC). You will be asked to indicate your preference during the application process.
