What is data engineering?
Data engineering is the complex task of making raw data usable to data scientists and groups within an organization. Data engineering encompasses numerous specialities of data science. In addition to making data accessible, data engineers create raw data analyses to provide predictive models and show trends for the short- and long-term (source: Precisely.org)
Data engineering is a significant growth area within both the commercial and public sectors, and there is a recognised shortage of professionals with this skill set.
This online MSc Data Engineering programme addresses this shortage. It is aimed at graduates and practitioners with a background in business, quantitative science, or computing who wish to develop into effective data engineers with business understandings and practical skills to contribute to this vital area.
Edinburgh Napier University has excellent research and knowledge transfer links with many local, national and international organisations in data engineering. It will give candidates the best chance to secure one of the many available data engineering jobs.
