Visualising the outcome of a data analysis is critical to communicate the results. In this course we will study standard and cutting edge visualisation techniques to make sense of data, and present it in a compelling, narrative-focused story.
Presenting and visualising data and reporting on the result of an analysis are a crucial skill when making sense of data.

In this course we will start discussing standard methods to visualise data, such as histograms, bar charts, different representations of time series, etc. These methods are critical for an exploratory data analysis.
Many modern problems in (big) data analysis require innovative and artistic representation of data so that the analysis can generate maximal impact.
