Overview
Participants will start by mastering the fundamentals of data visualisation with Matplotlib and Seaborn, learning to create and customize a variety of plots to effectively present data. They will then learn about selecting appropriate visualisations and applying best practices to ensure clear and impactful communication of insights. Building on this foundation, participants will explore the capabilities of the Plotly package to create interactive visualisations for complex datasets, such as time series and geospatial data. In the final session, participants will learn to build dynamic, interactive dashboards using Python libraries such as Streamlit, integrating data upload, analysis, and visualisation into end-to-end web applications. By the end of the course, participants will have the skills to create engaging visualisations and develop interactive data applications.
This module is part of a sequential programme and is not available on a standalone basis.
