LinkedIn Learning

Northumbria University is partner with LinkedIn Learning to provide you with the opportunity expand your skillsets and gain credit towards our Data Science MSc degree programme.

Students who complete selected Learning Pathways on LinkedIn Learning are eligible to receive course credit into our Data Science MSc degree programme upon successful completion of an online assessment. By following the LinkedIn Learning Pathway, your credits earned will mean you have an exemption from studying one of your master’s modules, freeing you up to focus on completing the remaining modules.

Below we provided details on the various LinkedIn Learning Pathways that map to course materials of our Data Science MSc.
