Cambridge Data Science Course

University of Cambridge MoU programme

Decision-Making Using Data
Cambridge Data Science Course is a course to learn about topics such as Big Data, Data Mining, Crypto Currencies, Data Visualization, GDPR, Digital Encryption, and Artificial Intelligence to drive logical decision-making, with the support of the University of Cambridge Mathematics Faculty and Cambridge Judge Business School.

Data Science has grown rapidly in importance and plays a pivotal role in helping organisations leverage data, turning raw information into actionable insights. It is an interdisciplinary field, using both statistics and computer sciences, to help solve some of the world’s most serious problems.

Let us take an example from the picture of Rabbit-duck illusion below.

One and the same picture can be a rabbit or a duck, depending on how it is construed.

Here, an objective analysis is required in order to prove that it is a rabbit or tht it is a duck. It is not convincing or persuasive just to say that it ‘looks like’ a rabbit or a duck.

Data analysis and statistics have become a focal point of public attention, with their broad range of use cases across industries and applications, from commercial, retail, legal, medical and even political fields. Data Science has become an inevitable pillar within many organisations, including those of the giants, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon.
