RI Masterclasses in Data Science 2027

What are the Ri Masterclasses in Data Science?

Whatever we do, from online shopping and social media to using music and podcast services or browsing the internet, data is collected.
Data science is concerned with turning this data into actionable knowledge, improving decision making and solving real-life problems.

The Warwick Ri Masterclasses in Data Science is a new series that was established in 2025.

Each masterclass consists of an interactive workshop that explores an aspect or method in data science including modern statistics and probability theory and is delivered by academics and students from the Department of Statistics.

Successful Year 10 students will attend the Saturday morning Masterclasses at the Department of Statistics, at the University of Warwick in the spring term. These classes start on 23rd January 2027 and finish with a celebration event on 20th March 2027. Teachers and families are invited to this celebration event.
