Want to learn something new in 2023? There are still places available on the Developing Your Data Skills Programme on various cohorts starting between 17th Jan and 1st Feb. 

The programme is based around freely-available online self-study resources that have been watched, verified and collated into a step-through programme in Learn. 

The programme aims to demystify data science and develop the data skills of all University staff and students. The programme develops Excel, Python, R or SQL programming skills, alongside better statistical and analytical understanding of data and the creation of data visualisation skills.  

The programme runs over six months and is suitable for all levels of experience.
