Introduction
Data science is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of mathematics, statistics, data analytics and more. The purpose of data science is to gather value and insight from raw data so as to give businesses actionable insights. Data scientists use a range of tools to extra data from the internet, smart devices, workstations and customers.
This self-directed, online course is perfect for busy professionals looking to develop their skill base and gain an introduction to the fundamentals of Data Science.
In just six weeks, you'll learn to identify and propose solutions to problems in organisational contexts, and explore techniques, concepts and common tools used by data scientists to gather and analyse data.
What is a micro-credential?
A micro-credential is a self-directed online course of study, where you will work through the course material in a flexible manner (within a set overall duration, e.g. six weeks) and complete an assessment to gain a credential. There are no classes, but you will have access to an academic subject matter expert who will support you as you work on your assessment and grade your assessment at the end of the course.
