This course helps you build the core communication skills needed in data science. You’ll learn how to review and improve data visualisations, design clear and concise presentation slides, and present insights in a way that is accurate and engaging.
You will explore key principles of scientific writing and practise discussing research findings with clarity and consistency. The course also introduces the skills and competencies expected of data science professionals, helping you understand how to communicate technical work to different audiences.
By the end, you’ll be able to create stronger visuals, structure research reports effectively, and share your data stories with confidence.
In Week 1 of this short course, we will explore how presentation and verbal communication skills are vital for data scientists as they ensure clear articulation of project goals, progress and challenges.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
