The Immerse Education Data Science & Analytics programme embarks on an illuminating journey into the realm of data-driven decision-making, data analysis techniques, predictive modelling, and the power of data visualization.
The overarching objective of this programme is to equip participants with the expertise needed to navigate and harness the transformative potential of data. By seamlessly intertwining theoretical understanding with practical applications, participants will develop the proficiency to extract insights from data and contribute meaningfully to industries driven by data science and analytics.
Participants will actively engage with data science hubs and explore AI research centres; through experiential learning and interactions with industry experts, participants will be well-prepared to navigate data complexities, drive meaningful change, and uncover insights that shape industries and fuel innovation.
Engage in Data Science & Analytics Industry Workshops
Collaborate with a Data Science Team from a Silicon Valley based organisation such as Airbnb to offer a data analytics bootcamp. Participants can learn data analysis techniques, work on real-world datasets, and gain insights into the world of data science. This workshop provides a glimpse into how data powers decision-making in a tech-driven world.
Engaging in practical experiences centred on data science and analytics in San Francisco offers insights into the power of datadriven decision-making. Site visits to machine learning labs, campuses of re-owned tech giants like Google, Ebay or Apple, and AI research centres will provide a deeper understanding of data analysis techniques, predictive modelling, and data visualization in diverse, real-world contexts. You’ll have the chance to explore how data shapes industries and drives innovation.
Harness the power of data by conducting a comprehensive analysis of realworld data sets, extracting insights, and visualizing trends. Through data exploration, analysis, and visualization, you’ll demonstrate your prowess in data science and analytics and use the findings to guide a data-lead discussion with experts in cutting-edge data analysis tools.

School Of Coding
Immerse Education is proud to be partnering with School Of Coding, whose aim is to inspire and excite students across the UK about the possibilities of studying computer science.
Recently featured on BBC News, School Of Coding aims to inspire students and create future tech leaders with fantastic educational, hands-on workshops.
Our Career Insights students have the opportunity to explore coding with School of Coding, where they will learn about the use of coding using real-world examples and explore computer science as a branch of the vast and ever-growing engineering career path.
I’ve enjoyed meeting new people with Immerse, people who have different passions than I do and are studying different courses – I have learned a lot from them.
Lady Margaret Hall, the college I’m staying in, is such a beautiful college. It’s got so many different areas we can study and play and have fun. I’ve also been learning so much about computer science, which is something I really enjoy.
I’m finding the course content extremely useful. I’ve learned so much in these two weeks and we’ve covered so many new topics that I hadn’t heard of. The relationship with my teacher has been fabulous – I can communicate with him very easily, and the teaching style is what I had expected, with university-style teaching methods.
I think this program has really helped me to to change my ideas about what I could expect from university, and it’s really helped me to make sure I enjoyed what I want to study in the future.
