Study plan

1. Data life cycle and data quality

In this unit you will be introduced to the fundamentals of data science and the phases of the life cycle of a data science project. You will learn about the main roles involved and their function in the process, as well as the key aspects to guarantee data quality, a fundamental pillar to obtain reliable results.

  • Life cycle phases
  • Sector roles
  • Data quality
2. Data preparation and pre-processing

In this unit you will learn how to clean, structure and organise raw data using Data Wrangling to make it ready for analysis. In addition, the management of data throughout its lifecycle will be addressed. At the end of the unit, you will apply these concepts through practical examples in Python, highlighting their importance in data analytics.

  • Dara Wrangling
  • Data Management
3. Visualisation tools and techniques I

In this unit you will learn the fundamental principles of creating effective visualisations. You will see how to transform raw data into clear visual representations, exploring different types of graphics and their application. You will also learn the importance of using colour and Gestalt principles to improve the perception of patterns in your visualisations.

  • Principles of effective visualisation
  • Types of visualisation
  • Storytelling applied to data
4. Visualisation tools and techniques II

In this unit, you will be introduced to Power BI, a key tool for data analysis and visualisation. You will learn how to navigate its interface, understand the workflow including data acquisition and preparation, and how to transform, model and visualise data using the Power BI Editor. You will also see how to publish your reports efficiently.

  • Interface
  • Workflow
  • Modelling
  • DAX
  • Report generation
