INTERACTIVE CASE STUDIES & DATA GYMNASIUM
- Delve into three practical examples of data science in suptech, dedicating one week to each example. Throughout these weeks, you will:
- Identify the specific supervisory value proposition of each data science solution, gaining a clear understanding of how it can enhance financial supervision.
- Learn the technical intricacies of implementing each solution and become proficient in employing the appropriate tools for data analysis and modeling.
- Gain an understanding of the implications of altering parameters within synthetic versions of the models, allowing you to grasp the broader impact of such changes on the effectiveness of the solutions.
Your capstone
The capstone project offers you a unique opportunity to integrate your learning, showcase expertise, and create tangible value for your organization. Throughout the project, you will build a conceptual brief on a proposed application of data science in supervision, drawing from the diverse portfolio of solutions provided by the Data Gymnasium. These solutions encompass various models, tools, and techniques such as supervised and unsupervised machine learning, trend analysis, sentiment analysis, network analysis, natural language processing (NLP), and image processing.
Demonstrating your critical thinking skills and applying new analytical frameworks to address supervisory challenges within your organization, you will make strategic decisions on the deployment of new technologies and data science to effectively tackle these challenges.
YOUR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
This program offers you the opportunity to earn a certificate of completion from one of the world’s leading business schools – the University of Cambridge Judge Business School. Your certificate will be issued in your legal name and shared with you upon successful completion of the programme, as per the stipulated requirements.
Programme lecturers and guest speakers
Technologists, data scientists, financial supervisors, policy and regulatory experts, economists, entrepreneurs, researchers, product managers and designers, coders, and business strategists with global and local expertise will lead the delivery of the curriculum, leveraging their first-hand experience and practical case studies from around the world.
