Target group

This course can be useful for all students and working professionals, but especially those in STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields and other disciplines that have a data analysis component (e.g. humanities).

Description/content

According to the 2022 annual Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum survey of the top programming languages (source: https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2022/ieee-spectrums-top-programming-languages-2022), Python continues to be the most popular programming language in job listings. In this course, the fundamentals of Python are covered, with a special focus on the skills necessary for in-depth data analyses and data visualisation. These two skills are fundamental in a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to the STEM (sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics) and humanities fields of study.

In this course, we will cover the following:

  1. data types and compound data structures
  2. conditional statements and loops
  3. Python functions
  4. importing, exporting and analysing different types of data using pandas
  5. visualising data using Matplotlib and Seaborn
  6. bonus: developing interactive plots with Plotly

At the end of the two-week course, students will engage in a final personal data analytics and visualisation project, which they will work on and present.
