Programme overview

Gain an overview of data science and machine learning - the skills required to be a data scientist. In the data science fundamentals phase you'll learn how to clean, analyse and visualise data as well as how to effectively communicate the findings.

During the machine learning phase, you'll solve real-world problems by building regression, classification, and unsupervised learning algorithms in Python. This involves data exploration, insight building, and improving and communicating models from a raw and unstructured dataset.
*Course duration for Accelerator and Scholarship tuition options is 12 months, as the coursework is followed by an internship.

Is this course for you?

You’re a newcomer to data science and you want to close the gaps in your analytical skills and knowledge. This course will be beneficial if you’re a professional needing to rapidly upskill and enhance your data science toolkit with theory and practical skills.

Or, you’re a professional working in any of a range of business areas, including but not limited to marketing, sales, finance, and operations. You want to learn how to use data and programming to increase efficiencies and identify new opportunities in your organisation.
