Nearly one in four job postings in the US alone require some data science skills and employers are paying up to 14% more for those skills. (Report : ExcelinEd & the Burning Glass Institute). This powerful specialisation from the University of London and IBM gives you the perfect academic and industry-informed practical introduction to data science. You get: - Progress transfer for the University of London’s BSc in Computer Science - The foundational skills and knowledge you need to get a job in a data-rich environment. During this specialisation, you’ll be introduced to data science, statistics, programming, computational thinking, machine learning, and more. You’ll discover the role of data science in today’s data-driven world. Plus, you’ll get hands-on using IBM’s data science tools, giving you practical experience to talk about in interviews. Half the teaching is provided by Goldsmiths, University of London, giving you a strong academic foundation. The other half, designed by IBM, provides real-world professional insight supported by practical projects and a capstone project for your resume. The “Problems and Algorithms in Data Science” course is a great preview of the BSc Computer Science degree with the opportunity to roll your progress into the degree, if you successfully apply and register. If you’re looking for a solid, practical understanding of data science that unlocks academic and career opportunities, ENROLL today!

It is an excellent presentation. Everyone should take this course if he/she is thinking to become a data scientist
AB
This is a great course for anyone willing to start exploring the field of Data Science. It starts with basic definitions with proper examples that helps one understand this field with a greater ease!
RG
It's a good introductory course to know all the open-source tools available for data science. However, it will not teach you how to code for these tools apart from introducing a few basic lines.
TM
it becomes easier wand clearer when one gets to complete the assignments as to how to utilize what has been learned. Practical work is a great way to learn, which was a fundamental part of the course.
TM
The assignment is quite easy, you just need to understand the code and rewrite the code to finish the final assignmentThis is a very useful course to help us imagin basically what a DS do
JM
I learned a lot but that might not be a good indicator as I didn't know much about Data Science in the first place. It just fueled my need to know more about the subject so on my side, it's a winner.
FC
It would be nice if you could update the material since some tools have changed either name or the way they look compared to the videos/images. Very good material though, I enjoyed the course much.
EH
It is a very valuable course that I have learned for the Python skillset. It contains some advanced methods. It helps me to build more confidence in using Python and understand the concept in general.
CH
I enjoyed this class. It has less lecture and more figuring things out. It was not in my original certificate program, and I decided to go upgrade and pick it up. Glad I did.
XM
I liked this course very much. The way it is organised to collect different data scientists opinions about the same topic, make it very valuable to the ones who are starting the road to Data Science.
MA
The course is overwhelming for a beginner with no experiecne of programming. The examples given in the class seem difficult and should have been of a lower difficulty level to keep the hopes high.
PK
it was an awesome course to start your journey in data science. Fundamentals concepts are covered in a lucid way. Nicely designed lab work. Some more hands on will help to get a better coding skills.

Overall, it's a good course that provides valuable insights. However, the sections on algorithms and K-clusters are poorly structured. An introductory course on data science should clearly explain the subject area and cover data science methodology - what does data science cosstt of? -, detailing how data scientists perform their work, skills that are relevant etc. Unfortunately, this course lacks a proper introduction to the discipline and is not well-organized pedagogically.
Good for beginers to understand the datascience
I really enjoyed this class, great start
جيدة ومفيدة.

It was a generally good course. However, the videos are mislabelled. I would have rated it higher if the videos were aligned to the titles.
