Course specifics

What will I learn?

We start with the core basics, like problem-solving, understanding business contexts, and learning the legal rules of data security then, you’ll dive into specialist skills.

You’ll learn how to safely collect, organise, and format data, and how to blend information from different sources. We’ll also teach you how to write code, specifically using languages like Python, so you can analyse big sets of data and present your findings clearly to any audience.

How will I be assessed?

You’ll take traditional written exams that cover the core technical knowledge you have learned and you’ll complete an Employer Set Project (ESP). This is a practical, project-based assessment where you will use your new skills in coding and data analysis to solve a real-life business problem, exactly like you would in a real job.

How will I be taught?

Your lessons will involve project-based learning, using tools and scenarios created alongside actual digital employers. You might find yourself building Chatbots, writing Python scripts, or designing a website as part of your everyday classes. You will also go on an extended industry placement where you will get to work in a real business environment, gaining hands-on experience and building a professional network before you even graduate.
