What you’ll learn & build
A hands-on Data Science & AI curriculum covering analytics, classical ML, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and deployment, so you can move from “I get the basics” to building models and sharing results with a portfolio of work in 12 weeks full-time or 24 weeks part-time.
Foundations
SQL, Python, Jupyter, Git/GitHub, linear algebra, probability, and statistics
Analytics workflow
Data preparation, exploratory analysis, visualisation, and feature engineering
Classical machine learning
Supervised and unsupervised learning, model evaluation, pipelines, and tuning
Deep learning & applied AI
Neural networks, CNNs, TensorFlow/Keras, plus practical projects in vision and NLP
Natural language processing
Text processing, embeddings, RNN/LSTM, attention, transformers, and chatbot building
Chapter 0: Pre-Work
Data Science & AI combines programming, statistics, and modelling to turn data into real insights. In pre-work, you’ll build the foundations you’ll rely on later: Python, SQL, linear algebra, and Git, so you’re ready to move quickly once live classes start.
Introduction to Python
- Python language and history
- The basics of Python
- Fundamental data structures in Python
- Classes and objects
- Modules and packages
- Input/Output
- Errors and exceptions
Environments
- Python environments
- Anaconda
- Jupyter notebooks
SQL and Databases
- SQL fundamentals
- SQL queries
Linear Algebra
- Scalars and vectors
- Matrices
- Norms
Git and GitHub
- Introduction to version control
- Workflow
- Inspecting repositories
- Undoing changes
- Fetching and pulling changes
- Pushing changes
Project: Curve Fitting
- You’ll work through a curve-fitting problem: choose a model that best matches a dataset, then implement a complete workflow. Along the way, you’ll practise OOP, SQL, linear algebra, and the fundamentals of machine learning pipelines.

How you’ll learn
Live online learning
- Join instructor-led sessions in real time, ask questions, and collaborate with peers, delivered online and aligned to CET/CEST for learners in Poland.
Self-study (structured)
- Part-time: 9 hours live learning + ~11 hours self-study (≈20 hours/week)
- Full-time: 22.5 hours live learning + ~17.5 hours self-study (≈40 hours/week)
Flipped classroom approach
- You’ll review materials before class, then use live sessions for practice, discussion, and feedback, so learning time is active, not passive.
Guided practice & portfolio work
- Every program is built around hands-on exercises and projects. You’ll practise skills as you learn them and graduate with portfolio-ready work you can show (internally at work or to employers).
