Python

This course is a introduction to the vast world of data analytics and machine learning using the Python programming language.

You will learn about the state of the art in data analytics and machine learning by leveraging the most widely used Python libraries, which are developed and maintained by companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter.

As both data analytics and machine learning fields are quite vast and fast expanding, we will focus our efforts on grasping the foundations, which should enable you to get a junior position as a data analyst.

Please note: If you have never done any programming before, you need to have a strong grasp of Python before enrolling - we recommend our Intro to Programming with Python short course as the pre-requisite. Delegates who are strong programmers in other languages (C++, Java etc)  may be able to convert as they go. Please see the linked intro course's syllabus for guidance.

Covid-19 update: The learning doesn’t have to stop, join our online community. We are deliver ing courses remotely until further notice. Live tutor support and online lessons will take place during advertised teaching hours. The classes are taught in small groups as usual, so you’ll get lots of support from your tutor.

The Introduction to Programming with Python short course introduces beginners to Python, a powerful, open-source language very popular in the fields of data analysis, finance and web development.

In this hands-on course, students with little or no prior experience of programming or Python will learn how to think like programmers and apply knowledge gained to solving practical exercises in class, having an experienced tutor present to answer questions.
