No previous experience of programming is required to participate in the Data School. We welcome applications from outside the UK.
Please note that because of the fast moving nature of Coronavirus, the Data School timetable and content may be subject to change because of staff availability. We also recognise that the current circumstances are putting extra pressure on many people, especially those with caring responsibilities, and we understand that not everyone will necessarily be able to make every session. This will not be a barrier to participation in the Data School.
