Python Fundamentals for Business Analysts

This programme introduces students to the programming language Python and its use for programming and analytics.
Through a hands-on data science project, students will learn how to program in Python and how to use Python libraries relevant to data analytics such as pandas, matplotlib and seaborn, which provide powerful tools for creating detailed and comprehensive visualisations.
Business analyst can utilise Python’s capabilities in statistical analysis, predictive modelling, machine learning and drive business strategies and decision making.

The aim of the course are

• To introduce students to object-oriented programming  and Python as generic programming language
• To train students in Python libraries relevant to data analytics such as pandas, matlplotlib, NumPy and seaborn
