Curriculum

Course 1. Data Analysis using Excel:
Data Analysis with Excel is a course that will help students gain knowledge and develop skills on Data Analytics and Microsoft Excel software to understand the importance of the software and apply the same in solving analytics problems and generating insights for business decisions. This course starts with basic topics such as Data Handling with Excel, followed by Advanced Data Handling, Data Visualisation and Dashboarding. The course also focusses on descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics using Microsoft Excel as a tool.

Course 2. Practical Approach to Data Mining and Analytics:
Practical Approach to Data Mining and Analytics lays the foundation of the basic and advanced concepts of data mining and data analytics supported with latest industry relevant business case studies. Students can learn data mining skills, tools and techniques in analytics, statistics and programming. This course demonstrates the usage of raw data in the data mining process, various visualisation techniques, and teaches students to perform analysis and interpretation of data.

Course 3. Data Analytics & Reporting:
The Data Analytics and Reporting course provides students with an introduction to data, the various steps involved in data preprocessing, and the tools used to analyse data. The course has two important objectives: (1) the use of tools and techniques to analyse data properties; (2) to extract relevant information from data and use different ways of reporting data. Data analysis is the cornerstone for any predictive analytics wherein the steps involved in getting clean model development data consume almost 90% of the entire project effort. This course helps students to derive insights from the data based on machine learning models and create reports.
