Virtual Taster Lecture: Data Science

The NCH Data Science programme explores the fundamentals and skills of data science, including skills in programming with data, machine learning, and natural language processing, and enables students to implement these skills at a practical level.

It also contextualizes this knowledge and the associated skills, to allow students to appreciate their theoretical implications, and navigate the resulting ethical territory, making students well positioned in the fast-moving data science landscape.

Our Data Science Taster Lecture is designed to give you a colourful taste of learning how to code in Python, one of the most sought-after skills in data science, using Pandas and a crowdsourced colour naming dataset. Colour naming links vision and speech but can also create an appetite for learning data science.

This taster will also include an introductory overview of studying at NCH, and there will be ample time for Q&A with Faculty and Student Ambassadors.
