Python for Data Analytics

Synopsis

ANL252 Python for Data Analytics, as part of the Business Analytics programme, is designed to equip Business Analytics students with the skills and knowledge to use the Python programming language as a tool for data analytics tasks. At the end of this course, students will be competent in writing Python codes to manage and manipulate data, and performing visualisation and data analytics techniques using existing, accessible Python libraries. Since this course is designed to help students with little prior exposure to programming, it will focus on breadth rather than depth.
