Event details

Technological advancements have not only driven the digitisation of society and the emergence of novel socio-political issues, but have also resulted in significant developments in algorithms, computational power, and increasingly large datasets. 

This practical-based face to face session will be delivered over two days and will provide you with both the technical programming skills and understanding of data science techniques that you will need to research pre-existing and novel social-political and economic issues and the kind of transferable skills that are currently in demand in the job marker. Specifically, it will introduce you to the Python programming language, assuming zero prior-experience, and give you the skills necessary to use it for data analysis.

The workshop will include refreshments at 09.30 for 10am start, with lunch provided, concluding at 16.00. The duration of sessions may vary day to day with the overall format being a mix of lectures, demonstrations and practical exercises.
