Employability
We designed the course assignments to mirror real-world professional settings. This means you’ll build up your professional skills during your time at King’s while working on data analysis, applied statistical and computational tasks, written reports, and presentations.
The Skills & Futures module also helps you connect your studies to your future career. You’ll build an ePortfolio to demonstrate your expertise.
