Your journey to become a Business Data Scientist
Take a deep dive into the world of Business Data Science. The live sessions are designed as practical and interactive as possible. You will learn by applying your newly acquired data analysis skills in smaller group projects with your classmates, supported by the experts.
Module 1
Week 1-3
From Excel to advanced data manipulation with Python for beginners
By the end of this module, you will be able to identify the data sources useful for the project, to download data in various ways, manipulate them both from a spreadsheet as well as from a dataframe, archive data in various formats for subsequent uses and query a database.
Module 2
Week 4-5
Digital Narratives: from Data visualization to storytelling
This module will guide you through deciding and designing the most suitable data visualizations for your projects. Starting from principles and best practices, you’ll be able to pick appropriate visual representations, and to combine them in coherent and interconnected views (e.g. dashboards). The integration of different graphs, dashboards, and textual elements will eventually enable you to tell stories using the available data and the results of the analysis performed on them.
Module 3
Week 6-7
Artificial Intelligence, visual process design, implementation and execution
According to the available data and the project objectives, you will be able to understand which machine learning algorithms to choose, how to fine tune the hyperparameters in the training phase and how to put them in sequence to solve the business problem.
Module 4
Week 8
Design Thinking for Data Science processes
By the end of this module, for each concrete business problem, you will be able to identify the process phases linked to the various data science techniques, understanding how to associate them with the various stages of the ‘design thinking’ methodology.
