Fundamentals
You’ll gain a rigorous understanding of the core concepts and best practices of Python programming. You’ll cover test-driven development, programming paradigms like functional and object-oriented programming and how to write succinct Pythonic code.
Networking and Concurrency
You'll build on the skills learnt in Fundamentals to understand how data is encoded and stored in appropriate formats. We will also learn about networking protocols such as HTTP and TCP along with how to run multiple tasks concurrently with asynchronous programming.
Data Fundamentals
This is where we introduce the fundamentals of how data is stored, analysed and manipulated. A key element is Structured Query Language which is the near-universal standard for interacting with relational databases.
Servers
Data Engineering is an inherently back end discipline and it’s important to know the principles and practice of how to create servers and APIs and how they interact with data sources.
Cloud Engineering and DevOps
We will explore how to deploy data applications in the market-leading cloud stack, AWS. Additionally, we’ll go into the key skills of DevOps - infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD).
Data Intensive applications in the cloud
Using the fundamentals you have learned about Python programming, data and cloud engineering, you will learn about the standard skills of ETL, Orchestration, modelling for data analytics and Business Intelligence.
Data Toolkit
You'll put the skills you've learnt so far into practice by learning how to Orchestrate tasks as you would in a real production environment. You'll schedule jobs to be run, make them observable and perform optimisations as you would in the workplace.
AI / Machine Learning
Are you ready to dive deep into AI and machine learning and build your own RAG-powered AI system? This block will take you from foundational AI concepts to solving real-world problems with AI applications. You'll gain practical experience with neural networks, decision trees, LLMs, embeddings, and fine-tuning models—all while working on industry-relevant projects.
Group Project
You’ll work in teams of 4-6 to develop a realistic data application. During the first week, you will learn best practices for working in technology teams, such as utilising Kanban, being introduced to Agile methodologies, writing user stories, conducting effective stand-up meetings, and collaborating on Git.
Advanced Data Toolkit
You'll learn about how to handle large scale compute with Apache Spark. The principles learned here will set you up for future success going into Enterprise scale Data Engineering.
