Gain a practical introduction to data analytics and its application to making decisions. You will learn common methods for quantitative and computational analytics, through which you can gain an overview of key concepts, skills, and technologies for sourcing data, performing data analysis, and producing appropriate visualisations.

While the course covers relevant technologies for data analytics and information visualisation, the focus is on asking the right questions and solving related problems that are driven from the business/organisational perspective. You will work with both structured and unstructured data, being encouraged to work with open data to address real-life problems in ways that align with ethical principles and good data governance.
