R For everyone
Our popular 'R' course is back due to popular demand! R is a free programming language for data management, visualisation and statistics. This course will be of interest to those who handle financial, scientific, or commercial data. This 8 week course is intended to teach the fundamentals of R to those with none or little R or programming experience. The course will cover the foundations of R and RStudio, and basic visualisation and statistics with R. Sessions will start with a quick introduction to the week's topic and primarily consist of coding examples and exercises that allow the students to work at their own pace.
