Differences Between Data
Science and Data
Analytics
PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
Introduction
In today’s data-driven world, Data Science
and Data Analytics are two of the most in-
demand fields. Although they are often
used interchangeably, these disciplines
have distinct roles, responsibilities, tools,
and goals. Understanding the difference is
essential for students aiming to build a
career in the tech industry.
What is Data
Science?
Data Science is a multidisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, algorithms, and
machine learning to extract insights from structured and unstructured data.

Feature Data Science Data Analytics
Goal
Skill Set
Tools
Outcome
Data Types
Career Path
Predict future trends and
automate processes
Programming, machine
learning, modeling
Research-focused and
technical roles
Analyze past data to
make decisions
Data querying, reporting,
visualization
Business and decision-
making roles
Structured, unstructured,
semi-structured
Primarily structured data
Predictive and prescriptive
insights
Descriptive and diagnostic
insights
Python, R, TensorFlow, Hadoop Excel, SQL, Power BI, Tableau
Use Case
Comparison
Data Science Example:
A tech company uses machine learning
models to predict customer churn and
automate retention strategies.
Data Analytics Example:
A retail chain uses data dashboards to
track monthly sales trends and
optimize inventory.
FEATURES
If you love mathematics, coding,
and solving complex problems,
Data Science might be the right
path.
If you're more interested in
business intelligence, storytelling
with data, and making informed
decisions, Data Analytics could be
your best fit.
Which One Should
You Choose?
DATA SCIENCE
Data Science is a
multidisciplinary field that
combines statistics,
computer science, and
domain knowledge to extract
meaningful insights and
knowledge from structured
and unstructured data.
DATA ANALYTICS
Data Analytics is the process
of examining, cleaning,
transforming, and
interpreting data to discover
useful information, draw
conclusions, and support
decision-making.
SKILLS AND TOOLS
YOU’LL NEED
For Data Science
Python, R, SQL
Jupyter Notebook
TensorFlow, Keras
Apache Spark, Hadoop
Advanced Statistics & Machine Learning
For Data Analytics
Excel, SQL
Power BI, Tableau
Google Data Studio
Statistical Analysis
Critical Thinking
Final Thoughts
Both Data Science and Data
Analytics play crucial roles in
leveraging data for growth and
innovation. While their approaches
and objectives differ, both require a
solid understanding of data handling
and problem-solving.
📝 Tip for Students:
Start with foundational courses in statistics and
SQL, then explore more advanced topics based on
your interest.
