Student Testimonials

My name is Mark Simons, I am in my third year studying with the DSTI at Edinburgh University, currently I am writing my Dissertation for a Data Science Masters.

The programme has been excellent, some of the standout courses for me include the Applied Machine Learning, Natural Computing and the Practical Introduction to High Performance Computing. These courses gave me a great theoretical and practical experience of Data Science concepts.

Support has been fantastic, my dissertation involves searching Twitter archives to compile my own data sets related to police brutality. I have received support on the technical and theoretical way to approach my research project which have been extremely helpful.

Very much enjoyed every aspect of studying with the DSTI.
