• Practical Data Science with Python (2023-)

  • Credit Points: 12.00

  • Level: Postgraduate; Undergraduate

  • The course gives you a set of practical skills for handling data that comes in a variety of formats and sizes, such as numeric and text data. These skills cover the data analysis lifecycle from initial access and acquisition, modeling, transformation, integration, querying, application of statistical learning and data mining methods, and presentation of results. This includes data wrangling, the process of converting raw data into a more useful form that can be subsequently analysed. The course is hands-on, using Python. 

• The AI Professional (2023-)

  • Credit Points: 12.00

  • Level: Postgraduate

  • This course will mainly introduce concepts related to legal, ethical, privacy, governance issues for data collections; describe techniques for effectively managing such issues; provide you with techniques for effective communication and other considerations required of the AI practitioner in a professional organisation.

  • This course will mainly introduce concepts related to legal, ethical, privacy, governance issues for data collections; describe techniques for effectively managing such issues; provide you with techniques for effective communication and other considerations required of the Data Scientist in a professional organisation.

• Professional Research and Communication (2021-2022)

  • Credit Points: 15.00

  • Level: Postgraduate

  • This course provides students with the skills for undertaking IT research in academic and organisational contexts. Students will investigate communication theories and apply these in a range of organisational situations. Students will practise and refine their English writing skills, and develop a proposal for an organisational IT research project. The emphasis will be evaluating existing literature related to the organisational IT project, understanding various approaches to solving the problem, writing up, and delivery of a presentation on the organisational IT project.

• Data Science for All (2022)

  • Credit Points: 15.00

  • Level: Postgraduate

  • DATA SCIENCE FOR ALL is an introductory course to data science, a fast-growing and exciting field. This course will provide an overview of a number of topics that play fundamental roles across various subjects in data science. The course features an emphasis on foundations and practical knowledge of data science, as well as computational thinking and real-world relevance. Topics to be covered include data types, data representation, data preparation, data processing and mining, data management, data exploration and visualisation. Hands-on experience working with real-world data, techniques, and tools will prepare students for advanced courses and enable students to start careers as data scientists.
