Assessment
For your capstone project, you’ll select a real-world data set for exploration and apply all of the techniques covered throughout the course to solve a problem. You’ll craft a problem statement, prepare technical documentation, and communicate findings through a stakeholder presentation. You’ll graduate with a polished, portfolio-ready project to showcase your analytical and visualisation skills. We encourage you to tackle a problem that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.
While one-week students in the UK will concentrate on their capstone piece, 10-week UK students will complete two additional, smaller projects designed to reinforce what they’ve learned in each unit. Note that the vast majority of project development will be completed outside of class.

- Instructor feedback and support are provided in real-time.
- Personalised career coach support from day one until you find a job.
- Individual and team-based projects to build your job-ready portfolio.
