From the foundations to final projects, our Applied Data Science cohorts build up practical experience working on a variety of datasets and graduate with an end-to-end data science project on their portfolio.
The final projects are the culmination of everything students have learned since the start of the programme, and a chance to work with a company to tackle real-world data engineering and machine learning problems.
We’re proud to be working with a diverse range of companies in finance, trading, law, bioengineering, agri-tech, real estate and healthcare, to ensure students are exposed to the career opportunities available in different sectors.

Featured Projects
Final projects are classified into core categories, so students focus on a key area of interest and apply techniques that are applicable in their professional work. Here’s a taste of some of the final projects our students work on:
Main Category: Time Series
Explore which features make the most importance in producing good financial models using cutting edge feature selection, big data processing and analysis techniques.
Main Category: Natural Language Processing
Develop a model that can identify and rank common topics across multiple jurisdictions for both microfinance and e-money regulations.
Main Category: Big Data
Get the chance to work on “data science at scale” and extract prototypes of fraudulent transactions from terabytes of data.
Main Category: Deep Learning
Train a classifier to automatically sort photographs into labels, in order to automatically infer details about a property and sort photos into collections.
