The micro-internship
As part of the programme, students also take part in a micro-internship, which is an incredible chance for them to engage with a problem faced by a business in the field they are exploring. This term, Data Analytics students will work with Global Forest Watch, a global research non-profit organisation headquartered in Washington D.C. Students will learn how to deal with large volumes of data, clean it, analyse it, interpret it, and present their findings in the form of an infographic.
