Course Objective

In today鈥檚 data-driven economy, the ability to handle, prepare, analyse, and model data of diverse structures is essential across industries such as banking and finance, healthcare and insurance, telecommunication, manufacturing, design, and retail. This course equips graduates with core skills in statistical analysis and predictive analytics needed for roles that involve managing, analysing, and modelling data to derive actionable business insights.

Specialist Diploma in Data Science (Predictive Analytics) aims to provide a strong foundation in statistics and programming for data science, alongside specialized competencies in statistical modelling and predictive techniques. Graduates will be proficient in preparing data, performing statistical analyses, building and deploying predictive models, and quantifying risks associated with prediction.

More Information

This is a one-year part-time programme comprising two Post-Diploma Certificates (PDCs), delivered over two semesters (one PDC per semester). Classes are conducted in the evening.

  • PDC1 focuses on foundations for data science, including statistics and Python programming.
  • PDC2 offers greater flexibility for working professionals by requiring only one on-campus session per week, with the majority of learning delivered through asynchronous e-learning.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a real-life project and participate in an exciting prediction challenge, allowing them to sharpen their practical skills in a hands-on setting.
