School of Science - UG Booklet

Student Sharing Studying DASC brings so many new experiences to me. Its unique teaching materials give challenging yet memorable learning experience throughout my university life. I have learned and upgraded my programming techniques through project-based courses by self-initiated research and the feedback provided by professors during the courses.

Offered by Programs Program Overview In this big data era, an enormous amount of data is continuously generated and obtained in almost every science, technology, and social science field. Data Analytics in Science is a major program designed for science students who want to learn data analysis skills and practice them in various science disciplines. Program Curriculum The curriculum starts with basic training in programming and computational skills, as well as analytic methods and statistics, and data visualization. Students will then declare one of the following study tracks at the start of Year 3 to practise and sharpen their skills. • Applied Biosciences Track • Environmental Science Track • Information Science Track • Molecular Science and Cheminformatics Track Courses in the tracks are not meant to train students to be experts in the corresponding fields, but rather to bring them into the context of a domain of data-intensive research in science.
