S2DS: Europe’s largest data science and AI training bootcamp

Five weeks of intensive, project-based training turning analytical PhDs and MScs into Data Scientists since 2014

Science to Data Science

We empower participants with the commercial and teamwork experience needed to embark on an exciting career in data science. From Day 1 of the programme, participants are immersed in the day-to-day life of a data scientist through working with clients in a small team and using agile management methodologies. With the mentorship of an experienced data scientist, teams develop deliverables with real impact for their clients in only 5 weeks.

  • Real Commercial Projects

  • Client Management and Business Acumen

  • Career and Technical Mentorship

  • Teamwork and Agile Management Skills

The Programme

S2DS builds upon the data science skills learned during your analytical PhD/MSc to apply your knowledge in a commercial setting. Develop your technical approach, teamwork skills, and business acumen through project work and start your networking journey with others going through the same transition as you. The programme includes many exciting social events as well as a Career’s Seminar to help begin your industry journey.

"All the mentors were always available when we needed them. Our project partners were really supportive and were available for discussions three times per week. This allowed us to interact with them regularly and understand the project requirements in a better way."

S2DS Past Projects

  • Large Language Models (LLMs)

    A proof-of-concept project to automate the process of refactoring notebooks into production-ready scripts using LLMs. Established a framework for LLM-based automation and highlighted challenges for the partner to build on.

  • Generative AI

    Leveraged generative AI tools and fine-tuned ML Flow pipeline to predict gender in a journalism corpus.

  • Machine Learning

    ML model using eddy current measurements to predict the depth of flaws in heat exchanger tubes and improve maintenance regimes of electricity generating equipment, to reduce unnecessary downtime and power losses.

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)

    Improved the classification of food hazard alerts using NLP. Developed an ensemble pipeline that combined rule-based matching and transformers with classifiers, achieving significant accuracy gains.

  • Time Series Clustering

    Developed an automated early-warning model for detecting ground movement. Real-time insights predict ground movement and protect critical assets like built infrastructure.

  • Neural Networks

    Neural network-powered predictive model of CO2 emissions for maritime partner. NN performance rivalled the partner’s incumbent physics-based model.

  • Proof of Concept (POC)

    POC project to scrape online behaviour data and convert into insights for safer gambling & regulatory compliance. Enabled the partner in proactive decision-making and helped to optimise their resources.

“Honestly, besides the technical learning and working with a company, the biggest take away for me from S2DS is a huge build in my confidence. I realised I already know a lot and have all the tools to learn even more. I feel much more confident that I will get employed in a data science job now that I have done this program.”
