No prior knowledge required
No unnecessary risks
Prepare yourself for a career in the fast-growing field of data science . In this program, you can develop the skills, tools, and portfolio that will give you a competitive edge in the job market as an entry-level data scientist in just 5 months. No prior knowledge of computer science or programming languages is required.
Data science involves collecting, cleaning, organizing, and analyzing data to extract useful insights and predict expected outcomes. The demand for skilled data scientists who can use data to tell compelling stories and help decision-makers has never been higher.
You will learn essential skills used by professional data scientists including databases, data visualizations, statistical analysis, predictive modeling, machine learning algorithms, and data sampling. You will also work with the latest languages, tools, and libraries including Python, SQL, Jupyter notebooks, Github, Rstudio, Pandas, Numpy, ScikitLearn, Matplotlib, and more.
Upon completion of the full program, you will build a portfolio of data science projects that will give you the confidence to stand out in job interviews. You will also gain access to the IBM Talent Network, where you can view job postings immediately after they are posted, receive recommendations tailored to your skills and interests, and get tips to set you apart from the rest.
This program is recommended by ACE® and FIBAA — after completing it, you can receive up to 12 academic credits and 6 ECTS points.
