Some Singapore Data Analytics Short Course graduates have gone on to enrol in a Data Science Immersive to learn more complex data analysis techniques and spark their career change into a data analytics or data science role.

For your capstone project, you’ll select a real-world data set for exploration and apply all of the techniques covered throughout the course to solve a problem. You’ll craft a problem statement, prepare technical documentation, and communicate findings through a stakeholder presentation. You’ll graduate with a polished, portfolio-ready project to showcase your analytical and visualisation skills. We encourage you to tackle a problem that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

While one-week students in Singapore will concentrate on their capstone piece, 10-week Singaporean students will complete two additional, smaller projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit. Note that the vast majority of project development will be completed outside of class.
