We offer this programme for Bachelor's students, Master's students and young scientists as well, to support their successful placement in attractive fields of activity.
There are no prior programming skills required. However, an interest in numbers and logical relationships as well as a basic statistical knowledge are advantageous.
This course aims to make you familiar with basic machine learning approaches and data analytics techniques by enabling you to use them to your professional benefit. Adopting a user perspective, you will learn to automate simple but time-consuming tasks such as the classification of analysts’ conference calls into economically meaningful content.
Additionally, the course enables you to tackle complex prediction tasks using different information sources. For example, we will approach loan loss predictions or price and volume forecasts. Finally, the course gives you relevant data analytics skills such as the description, visualisation and statistical analysis of such predictions. This is a hands-on class. We will use the programming language Python to apply the above concepts.
All essential programming skills are taught in this course, and there are no prior programming skills required.
