PROGRAM CURRICULUM

CAPSTONE PROJECT
A capstone is a 6 week long project that requires you to apply several skills
and techniques that you will have learnt throughout your program. You will
be guided by your mentor through a highly structured and well-defined
path to ensure you are able to successfully complete your capstone.

The capstone project gives you an end-to-end experience of what it is like


to work on an actual industry project, exactly the same way a working
analytics professional would in their job. For instance, in the real world,
data is often unstructured, difficult to access and may need to be cleaned
before it is suitable for analysis.

Capstone projects are invaluable assets to have on your CV when you go


for Analytics interviews as they show potential employers that you are
capable of working on problems of the scale and complexity that analytics
professionals are expected to solve in the industry.
