In Applied Data Science, you’ll gain a solid understanding of the mathematical machinery behind the cool algorithms, enabling you to predict future events using data.
Being hands-on is huge at Forward School. So, to make your experience more practical, you’ll learn all the essential concepts through real-world examples and applied learning projects.
After mastering them, you’ll be ready to raw, messy data into actionable business insights– or impress the other side of the table in job interviews. Our graduates are putting their skills to work in areas as diverse as medicine, manufacturing, business, and education.
