Data Science for Economics

As a researcher/professional of an EU agency, I was in need of a fast and succinct introduction to the principles of Machine Learning and Data Science. The course was very rigorous and covered targeted material and Python programs that may act as a springboard for more reading and learning on the topic…The course did a good job highlighting to potential Data Scientists that one needs rigorous theoretical understanding of the behavioral models, as opposed to simply programming some lines of code. I would highly recommend the course to professionals who, like myself, do not have the luxury of time due to family or other constraints to attend lengthy courses and lectures.

I enjoyed the BSE Data Science course. It met all of my expectations. I got an excellent overview of the theory and methods in Data Science with the use of Python. Intensive lectures, practical examples, and the individual projects we completed made the learning process very effective. I also appreciate that the professor not only gave us tools, but also explained the theory underlying them and the potential problems related to their implementation. After this course, I did not become a professional data scientist in Python at once, but the course gave me a fast start and a great motivation to continue developing in this field.
