Description
Data science combines programming, statistics and analytical thinking to turn raw information into useful findings. Python is widely used in this field because its libraries support data preparation, exploration, visualisation and introductory machine learning.
This course provides a structured introduction for learners with little or no programming experience. You will practise writing Python code, working with datasets, preparing information for analysis and interpreting visual results.
Course ModulesModule 1: Introduction to Data Science and Python
Discover what data science involves, how Python supports analytical work and where data-driven methods are used across different industries.
Module 2: Setting Up Python, Jupyter Notebook and the Development Environment
Prepare your workspace by exploring Python installation, Jupyter Notebook and the tools needed to write, run and organise code.
Module 3: Python Fundamentals, Variables and Data Types
Learn the basic building blocks of Python, including variables, strings, numbers, Boolean values and common data operations.
Module 4: Conditional Statements, Loops, Functions and Error Handling
Develop programming logic using conditions, repetition and reusable functions. Explore how to identify and handle common coding errors.
Module 5: Working with Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries and Sets
Understand Python's core data structures and how to store, organise, access and manipulate collections of information.
Module 6: Introduction to NumPy and Numerical Data Processing
Explore NumPy arrays, numerical operations and efficient methods for working with structured numerical data.
Module 7: Data Analysis and Manipulation with Pandas
Learn how to use Pandas Series and DataFrames to inspect, filter, sort, transform and summarise datasets.
Module 8: Importing, Cleaning and Preparing Real-World Data
Discover how to load data from common file formats, identify missing or inconsistent values and prepare datasets for reliable analysis.
Module 9: Data Visualisation with Matplotlib and Seaborn
Create charts and visual representations to communicate patterns, comparisons and relationships within datasets.
Module 10: Exploratory Data Analysis and Statistical Fundamentals
Explore descriptive statistics, distributions, relationships and summary measures to understand datasets before building models.
Module 11: Introduction to Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn
Discover introductory machine learning concepts, including features, target variables, training and testing data, and basic model workflows.
Module 12: Practical Data Science Project, Model Evaluation and Final Assessment
Bring together your programming and analytical knowledge in a practical project. Explore model evaluation, review your findings and complete the final assessment.
