Introduction to the Program

Analyze the most appropriate techniques for each data set and examine the results obtained” 

##IMAGE##

The Postgraduate diploma has been designed to provide computer engineers with all the knowledge they need to analyze company data. This is essential for the profile of any professional working in this field, since the volume of information increases every year, making analysis and interpretation more difficult.  

Therefore, it is necessary to be trained in specialized knowledge to adequately manage data, focusing at all times on typology and life cycle and practical approaches using the available resources. In data science, knowledge of statistics is indispensable, hence the importance placed on the module that covers it.

At the end of the program, computer engineers will develop a critical attitude toward the strategies applied, being able to discern in each case the most appropriate solution and explain in a reasoned way the results obtained in the different metrics.

All of the above is complemented by a 100% online program, which can be studied at our students' convenience, wherever and whenever it suits them. All you need is a device with Internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in accord with the current times and all the guarantees to position engineers in a highly demanded field. 

Generate hypotheses to solve practical cases and validate them using metrics in a critical and reasoned manner” 

This Postgraduate diploma in Exploratory Data Analysis contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date academic program in the university landscape. The most important features of the program include:

  • Practical cases studies are presented by experts in Engineering in data analysis
