Data Science Course

We run short on-demand ad-hoc lectures on machine learning and data science targeted toward specific School, Institute or research group. The format is 1 hour of introduction to data science or a specific topic of interest followed by 1 hour for Q&A. If you would like us to organise one, please get in touch.

We run a day-long data science course (Day of Data Science) with multiple talks, hands-on sessions, and Q&A designed to give you a broad overview of state-of-the-art data science tools and how they can be incorporated in your research. 

We run a more extensive introductory data science course (Data Science for Domain Scientists) available without cost to the University staff, consisting of 7 sessions, 2 hours each. DS4DS is aimed at academics and researchers interested in applying machine learning to their research and developing funding bids with an element of data science and machine learning. We intend it to be a gateway to incorporating data science into your domain research rather than technical upskilling, and as such we mean to provide you with an eagles-eye view of the applied side of the field and real-life practical examples. DS4DS will give a broad overview of the standard machine learning pipeline and foundational concepts, a basic introduction to traditional techniques and most recent developments, and practical guidance on developing an interdisciplinary bid and engaging with the data and machine learning experts at the University.
