Great video, thanks for breaking it down!
great video, very informative, thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it informative :)
Very Informative video, Thanks Leon
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, really helpful
I love this...
Glad you liked it!
hi leon i recently got into the university of leeds for computer science master's, i have applied for a few colleges in the US too but my priority is that i get a job after doing my course, so my question is does doing masters with UG increase my chance in getting a job in the uk or does it not matter.
Hi Leon, great video. US International student for a data science masters student cost $5000 a class plus admin fees and health insure.
Thanks James! That's really expensive 😱
Hi, great video! Soon I have to choose a bachelor program keeping in mind that I will probably choose master in data science. I've got 2 options:
1.Mathematics and data analysis
2. Data analysis and engineering (data science)
I know that naturally the second option is the better one in terms of a smooth transition. But maybe it is not a huge difference? The first option includes more math oriented topics, the second one - more programming (also in Java for example).I am talking about one of the best uni in my country, the quality of teaching is good when it comes to both options . What would you say and potentially recommend?
I believe it depends right. Both sound great options and will get your foundational layer covered for the most part. Even within option 1, I can assume you will get basic programming such as R (for statistical analysis) or Python. A better question for ya might be: what you do aspire to use this masters degree or what are your future professional goals?
Looking to apply these skills in the industry as a data scientist? Do you intend to pursue a PhD in the future? Is research & the higher theoretic field something you’re passionate about?
Based on those questions option 1 sounds more theoretical and could help you further down the line. Option 2 sounds more applied and could help you understand how these skills can be applied in a company. The type of industry niche could play a factor too! Thinking of going into manufacturing? I can tell you first hand that our data scientists often work on creating models but often doing a bit of other roles such as data engineering roles and even operations. Perhaps you want to go into big FAANG companies, then maybe those companies have more of a budget to spend solely on r&d and thus option 1 could be helpful.
At the end of the day, both could work for anything because if you do option 1 you could work on some side project that involves more programming! On the contrary, if you go for option 2, you could also do self study on very specific math intensive subjects at your own pace while you learn industry ready skill.
Hope my very small 2 cents help in some way shape or form! Best of luck!
Hey Leon, i just love your videos. They are absolutely insightful.
A quick question, does University of Leeds provide placement or are we supposed to find jobs on our own?
Thank you for the nice comment, Vidhi! For my master's, there were no "placements" offered by the university but people could do their dissertation topic with a company if they wanted to.
informative video leon. Planning to do masters in data science. what's your opinion which country is best for data science, Uk or Canada?
Glad you found it useful, Sakthi! That's a hard question for me to answer as I've only lived and worked in the UK. I'd guess that Canada has more opportunities due to it being so close to the US, but there's also plenty of opportunities in London. The best I can suggest is to compare other things like standard of living, work-life balance, and so on.
@@LeonLokk Thanks Leon for the information
Am just a mathematics graduate from university , I want to go into data analytics masters. Will they teach us from scratch, because I have zero background in data science or programming is it possible?
Yes, a data science master's will cover the fundamentals. Since you have a maths background, you can pick more programming or data science theory modules if that's what you want to focus on instead.
HI, is University of Leeds Beckett is good for MSC data Science?
I don't know much about Leeds Beckett University, so I can't really comment on that. Since I'm biased, I'd obviously suggest going to University of Leeds instead but it's really up to you and what you want out of the course.
Would data science be in demand in 2030?
how lon lg did it take before you get employed after finishing Ur masters?
It took me around half a year due to COVID lockdowns at the time.
I have basic knowledge in python DBMS and machine learning. Should I choose this course?. other parts I do not have any knowledge.
That depends on whether you want to learn them, and what type of job it is that you're looking for. For most data scientist positions, I'd personally say that they're worth learning and this course covered them enough for my needs.
@@LeonLokk how can i connect with you. I got offer latter of this university
What did you study in your bachelors? I come from a life science background doing my bachelors in that would I find it hard?
I studied maths for my bachelors. A life science background could help, but it really depends on how much stats you know. IMO, the more confident you are with stats, the easier the data science master's will be.
Do They not teach in python. I have no knowledge R language? It is possible without R language?
They didn't really teach Python besides in the machine learning module. They focus mainly on R because of it's popularity in academia.
How about a data science bachelors degree
I don't know much about data science bachelor's degrees but I'd assume they'd be more practical than something like a pure maths degree.
9 modules is insane
It's a lot indeed!
Do they teach python and SQL?
They do but it depends on the module. The compulsory modules focused more on R and some electives like Machine Learning were taught in Python. Modules like Data Management also taught a lot of basic SQL.
In general, you're expected to learn on your own and ask questions in the lab sessions that are available throughout the week. The majority of my coding knowledge was self-taught with some guidance from supervisors and professors.
@@LeonLokk i am not familiar with R..will they teach it from scratch?
@@shaahidhirfaansha78 Yes, they have R lab sessions that teach you from scratch with exercise sheets and help from professors :)
@@LeonLokk that's awesome. Thanks for replying so fast. Appreciate it❤️
Technically it was in 5 min
Technically 2 minutes if you play at 2x speed.
Lol i guess the university of Leeds doesn’t really have International students then
Really informative video, thanks!
Glad you found this useful!
