A good balance for my preferences

I found the Data Science course at the Information School the most appealing out of the courses I looked at. It included the specific modules I was seeking to explore in my studies. What appealed to me the most was that it wasn't overly technical. I wanted to avoid going too deeply into highly technical aspects, and this course provided a good balance for my preferences.

The modules' balanced structure of theory and practical components was something I really enjoyed. It provided a comprehensive learning experience that allowed me to understand the concepts deeply and apply them in real-world scenarios, making the learning process both enriching and practical. Data Mining was my favourite module.

Easy to grasp complex concepts

The curriculum was well-structured, providing a clear and logical progression of topics, which made it easy to grasp complex concepts. The teachers were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the course. They were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer assistance whenever needed.

Moreover, the study materials provided were comprehensive and resourceful. From recorded lectures to additional online resources, they ensured we had everything necessary to excel in our studies.

Educational adventure

As a student ambassador, I absolutely loved being able to chat with potential students and share my enthusiasm about the course. It's like having a friendly conversation with someone, where I get to convey my own experiences and passion for what I've learned. It's like being a supportive mentor, cheering them on as they embark on their educational adventure.

All in all, my time at the Information School was truly enriching, thanks to the well-structured course, the caring and supportive teachers, and the excellent study materials provided to us.
