About the faculty
The Data Science Campus faculty equips learners across the UK government and public sector with leading-edge skills in data science. From trainer-led introductory workshops to self-study learning resources and bespoke advanced programmes.
We use evidence-based practice and the latest developments in software and data science techniques. We continually revise our learning resources in response to stakeholder requirements and learner evaluation, so we can stay up to date with the rapidly evolving landscape of data tools and technologies. We develop our course content for the needs of individual learners and public sector organisations.
