The Data Science Institute 

The Data Science Institute is dedicated to advancing research and building a community in the exciting interdisciplinary field of data science, the integrative fusion of mathematics, statistics, and computer science applied to address basic and practical problems in the sciences (natural, life, and social), engineering, and society.  

Week one: Sample session outline 
During the first week you will dive into an intensive learning overview of the foundation of data science and AI. You will have regular opportunities to visit the Data Science Institute (DSI) and have face to face learning with º£½ÇÉçÇø’s world-leading academics. 

 

Introduction to Data Science: The Journey from Data to Insights 

The morning of day one will kick off with an introduction to data science, where you will delve into the journey from collecting raw data to extracting meaningful insights. You will learn the fundamental concepts of data science and AI, including data pre-processing, exploratory data analysis, modelling and evaluation. You will also have a hands-on session focusing on Python for Data Science. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

In the afternoon of days one to three, you will have the opportunity to visit the Data Science Institute’s Data Observatory in small groups where various demonstrations will be showcased. For those not visiting the Data Observatory you will be provided with a curated reading list for the self-study sessions and group presentations. There will be a masterclass on the first day of the programme on how to effectively read research papers which will help you prepare for these sessions.

Learning journey

In 2026, learners: 

  • Explored the foundations of data science - where data comes from, how we gather and store it, how we transform it into structures we can learn from, how we visualise it, how we secure and protect it, and how we learn from it.
  • Covered the foundations of artificial intelligence (AI) and how data science is crucial for empowering AI, serving as the interface to AI and machine learning.
