Data Science is becoming the future! Do you want to be part of it? Complete this course at Emagister.co.uk and further your skill set in this growing industry.
Data has been called the new global currency, and its meteoric rise is transforming entire industries and driving the demand for practitioners who can wield its power. From health care and finance to entertainment, cybersecurity and beyond, the need for data scientists continues to grow in tandem opportunities for career advancement within the field.
To help fill this talent gap and further the use of data science to solve real-world problems, Columbia Engineering Executive Education has partnered with EMERITUS to create the Applied Data Science course.
Our approach to this course is to teach the underlying concepts and statistics of Data Science.
Going beyond the theory, our approach invites participants into a conversation, where learning is facilitated by live subject matter experts and enriched by practitioners in the field of data science. We expect learners would be required to put in 6-8 hours per week.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a verified digital certificate from EMERITUS in collaboration with Columbia Engineering Executive Education.

This course is designed for professionals currently in or seeking to secure a position as a:
Data Analyst
Business Analyst
Statistician/Mathematician
Data Engineer
Big Data Engineer
Software Developer
The course requires an undergraduate knowledge of statistics, (descriptive statistics, regression, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, interval estimation etc.) linear algebra and probability.
Familiarity with Python or any programming language is required.
Assignments/application projects which require programming will be done using the Python programming language.
The Applied Data Science certificate course is composed of 12 modules spanning across three months. The course has fixed start and end dates. To complete the course, students must successfully complete all the modules and the associated video lectures, assignments and application projects. The projects require learners to apply the Data Science concepts they have learned to datasets and derive inferences. In addition to this, participants would be exposed to discussions and live webinars where learning is facilitated by subject matter experts and enriched by practitioners in the field of Data Science.
The Applied Data Science course is a rigorous 3-month online certificate course designed for working professionals to develop practical knowledge and skills, establish a professional network, and accelerate entry into data science careers.
