Elementary Data Analyst Academy

Participants at a DPUK Datathon event

The DPUK Elementary Academy (Online)

Designed for students, researchers who are newcomers or with little experience of analysing health or cohort data. It is also useful to anyone wanting to refresh their core skills.

The Elementary Academy is a 5-day virtual series of lectures, presentations and guided tutorials, group collaboration and hands-on big data working. It is an immersive introduction to cohort data analysis techniques with a particular focus on dementia. Although it is applicable in other areas of health research, during the course you will be working on dementia datasets.

Our expert line-up of presenters, lecturers and tutorial leaders explore topics including:

  • multi-modal analysis
  • multi-cohort projects
  • data standardisation
  • and linear models.

Each day at the Academy involves a morning including a contextual presentation and a statistical lecture. There is a  guided analysis tutorial in the afternoon.

We aim to keep costs very low and you can expect to be charged around £125 for the whole 5-day course.

Find out about our Advanced Academy for more experienced analysts and our highly successful Datathon, which gives researchers the chance to work in multidisciplinary groups on real research projects in the  DPUK Data Portal.
