This module provides students with an introduction to handling large datasets with confidence. Most careers now require a high level of comfort with complex data of different kinds, as well as the ability to both query existing data or creating datasets. The module will focus on a range of types of data, and then encourage students to develop the skills to understand, organise, clean, process, and analyse a range of data types. Students will use statistical analysis software to develop skills at statistical computing and data visualisation. Throughout the module students will develop their practical experience and complete formative assignments to reinforce skills. The module is suitable for PGT students without any prior experience with software for data processing and statistical analysis. Prior experience with programming is welcome but not required.
