Summer and Winter Schools

Our multidisciplinary Summer and Winter Schools are offered in a format of either two or three weeks. They are designed for undergraduate students around the world with an interest in data science and AI, allowing students to expand their knowledge outside traditional term time.

The programme uses group discussions, workshops, off-campus excursions and guest speakers to enrich, enhance and develop business knowledge and practical skills in a fun and supportive learning environment.

Students are introduced to the basic concepts of data science and develop a technical understanding as well as a business awareness of data science. They enjoy an enhanced learning experience  that will further develop their transferrable skills, and learn about global challenges with relevant tours and company visits.

You can read more about our online 2021 Winter School and 2020 Summer School, and about our in person edtion of the 2019 Data Science Entrepreneurship Summer School.
