This is an 8-hour online course that provides an introduction to programming with Python and R for data analysis and machine learning. The course is taught with a hands-on approach via Jupyter notebooks.

This course has been specifically designed to provide you with the coding skills that are essential for training in data science. If you are interested in mastering this area and learning the tools to apply modern machine learning techniques – from data exploration to building predictive models and extracting insights – this course is the ideal preparation to get started.

Get professional training in the most popular programming languages for modern data analysis and machine learning

You will also get the required preparation for other upcoming courses in our Executive Education Courses such as Foundations of Data Science and the Data Science Summer School courses: Foundations of Data Science and the more advanced Using Text as Data: Methods and Applications and Deep Learning and Applications. 

After successful completion of this course you will have:

• Learnt the two main languages used in data science: Python and R
• Learnt how to use the state-of-the-art packages in Python and R for data manipulation
• Gained practical experience in manipulating data in Python and R

Get up to speed on the latest developments in data science in a short time

This course is based on a hands-on, interactive approach using Jupyter notebooks . You will be encouraged to engage with the material, experiment and directly interact with the lecturer.

This course will be taught online but it will be live and interactive.
