Program Description

Studying Data Science and Human Biology will give you the opportunity to develop a breadth of knowledge and a wide range of skills in two fascinating subjects.Initial modules will provide you with a grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of both disciplines. In data science you will explore the fundamental concepts underlying the analysis of complex data together with techniques for applying these using a contemporary programming language. You will look at data science and its relationship with business analytics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence and examine the processes techniques used to extract information from raw data.

In human biology you will explore a mixture of core modules that will provide you with the fundamentals of human biology that underpin all areas of biological study. You will explore compulsory modules in physiology, anatomy and the fundamentals of biology - from a cellular and molecular level to the evolution of complex living organisms.During your first and second year, you will take laboratory classes most weeks to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third years. From AI, data visualisation and deep learning to investigating the real life applications of human biology in the diagnosis, treatment and management of human disease - you will develop the advanced knowledge and skills to carry out your own independent studies.The programme will culminate with the opportunity to unleash your creativity and apply the techniques you have acquired throughout your studies by completing a final year project. Types of projects you may undertake include; lab-based, systematic reviews, bioinformatics, pedagogic or outreach work. Throughout your project you will be supported and supervised by an academic who has expertise in your chosen area of study.

FLEXIBILITY

The flexibility of our course enables you to tailor your degree to your individual preferences.
You may choose to enhance your employability by spending a year in industry or broaden your horizons by spending a year studying abroad at one of our partner institutions. Paid or voluntary experience in your area of interest will not only demonstrate your commitment and passion, but will also enable you to make meaningful connections by networking with experts in the field. From year two, you can also choose from a variety of optional modules. This will enable you to explore subjects that reflect your interests in the field of data science and neuroscience.

SUPPORT

We offer a robust multi layered student support structure to help you meet your academic and personal needs. You will benefit from the guidance of an academic mentor and access to Keele's Student Experience and Support team.In the Data Science component of the programme, our open-door policy enables you to engage with your lecturers directly, meaning you can seek support, gain feedback, or discuss any matters relating to your studies on a regular basis. In addition to this, experienced students and doctoral researchers usually run help-desk sessions to help with the use and configuration of software especially when exam and coursework deadlines get closer.In Human Biology during practical workshops you will have support from a variety of academic staff. In addition to your lead lecturer you will benefit from the guidance of:
  • Senior demonstrators
  • Postgraduate student demonstrators
  • Laboratory technicians
  • Core skills videos and laboratory simulations
  • Data analysis workshops

SOCIETIES

We have a wealth of student-led societies at Keele which cover a diverse range of interests. Joining a society related to your degree is a great opportunity to continue to develop your skills away from your studies. This is another excellent way of demonstrating your genuine interest for the area and can be beneficial when it comes to applying for graduate roles. You may choose to participate in exciting hackathons and competitive programming challenges in the student-led HACK Keele Society or join the activities organised by Keele's Life Science Society.
