Thank you for keeping it real! I’m an business analyst and an aspiring data scientist considering a masters degree in data science, hopefully someday I’ll get to work in DS after finishing the masters
Thank you for the video. Inspiring. 1)Did you have to leave your job as Biologist, to do online learning for DS. How many hours did you study in a day or per Week (I know it largely depends on one's learning capability). 2)Did you have any mentors to guide you through this journey. 3)Could you make a video on your journey of selecting/applying for different Universities. Best Universities you have considered. 4)What are the difficulties you have faced while studying in University
Hi Divya :) Thank you for your questions. I study programming and DS while I am still doing my Bio research degree (all self learning). I do it on the side. mostly every night or weekends or whenever I have the time. Before, I study at most 2-3 hours per day when I was still a biologist, more on the weekends. It depends really whenever I have free time. But when I was in the Uni here in Germany I study on avg. 4-6 hours per day except for classes. depends on the subject :) 2. I don't have any mentors, just like you I also just look on youtube who are the data scientists and what it feels like. It inspires me :) for questions 3 and 4, I might make short videos for it :)
Because of your background, you’d be a good candidate for computational biology jobs. I’ll be attending a data science and artificial intelligence masters in September, so this video was informative. I did my undergrad in philosophy and sociology.
Hey rez! Nice video, got some insightful thing into the video. Just wanted to get a follow up from you. I've done my masters in biotechnology but not at all interested in my field, and I'm thinking to switch in IT companies. So can I just take a course of IT and do a job for a year maybe and then opt for a MS in DS later? Waiting for your reply:)
Hi Paayal! I think biotech in itself got a big chance to be in the healthcare company perhaps analysts or even DS in HC domains :) I encountered a lot of job offerings requiring this domain. But yes, I think studying online courses on IT and analytics is good enough ☺️ and up to you if you still need the MS after having the work experience. :) For me, the MS title is only necessary to convince them that I got a technical skills since I have a biology background but maybe Biotech is a bit different.
Hey ma'am . I am going to become a Cost & Management Accountant(CMA) from India . So I am from a Commerce background and I want into get into Finance field . How will Data Analyst/Data Scientist help me after becoming a CMA ?
Hello mam. Thank you for this valuable content.can you create a group in telegram so we can discuss more about the subject. I also want to learn data science.
Thank you for the video. Like it! I have worked in BI (both ETL and reporting) for a few years in France (I have a master degree in CS and statistics). But I left my job 7 years ago for raising my children. Now I plan to go back to work, and need definitely to learn new things before. I now live in Germany. Do you think online learning for DS is enough or should I better do a master degree? (I just started learning German, and it will take long ...)
I think it’s enough in your case because you already have a data related experience and what you got is already useful ☺️ I don’t think you need a Masters degree in DS but only just learn the recent tools if you need a refresher 😊 I think you’ll do great!
Hi Rez! Such an inspiring story! I took up BSc. Chemistry and I'm considering studying Data Science in Germany. We're both from non-technical background so I can very much relate to your story. Can I apply for a Master's Degree in Data Science without having taken programming courses in college? I had Introductory Statistics but nothing related to programming. Did your CS50 course and other online certificates help in your application for Masters in university since you're from a Biology background?
Hi Diz, thank you. You can definitely apply I guess but programming is very important for the course. The cs50 does not help directly but it for sure helped me know something about computer science which is relevant to the DS degree and DS jobs.
Dear Rez, where did you take the M.A in Data science in Germany? How did you fulfill uni requirements regarding your Bs in Biology? Thank you for your valuable content!
Hi mam I hope you are fine..I m from india .. I m planning to do ms in Germany from htw Berlin .I did graduation in mechanical engineering after that I did a course in data science and currently working as a data scientist .

Hi Riz, I am looking to transition to DataScience, I have CS background, however I want to start as a beginner. could you suggest how to do apply for DataScience degree in Germany
this is a tough question, usually, people with CS degree already have an edge because of your skills :) there are some universities that have data science degrees such as Marburg University. they are looking for people who already have tech skills. I applied there before and I got accepted as well. what I did is I sent an email to one of the professors there in the DS department :) he gave me instructions on what to do. But check out their uni website :)

Most of the private ones are okay with no German, they teach in english but I cannot talk in behalf of all the uni. you can check out their websites and see the requirements. German language in general will give you more job opportunities, this still depends on the company if they want you to talk german or not but mostly they want you to talk german especially for smaller start up companies.Take care!
@@datawithrez vielen Dank für deine Hilfe. I am graduate of Economics. I guess you mentioned that you studied Biology originally. So you think they accepted you because you told them in your application that you self studied for two years and attached your certificates may be?. Because if so, I will start self learning to prepare my self technically and to convince the uni. That I am ready and serious at the same time. What do you think? Thank you !
Yeah, showed my projects, some publications, highlighted in the resume that i've done some stat. research and passion for the field. they even interviewed me before ☺️
Hi Riz! Nice video 👍 I am a professional chemist shifting my career to freelancing. I need your advice on whether to learn Java and go for Android development or learn Python/R and go for Data Science. . ? Which is better in scope and Future perspective?
Hi Umer, it looked like the 2 choices are very far. Data Science VS Android Development :) Which one do you really want to go? :) I am not familiar with Android development. For me, it looked like data Science has a bigger future in terms of job demand but I might be bias since I know the field more 😅 but given that you are a chemist you are already trained in data analysis and I think this is an advantage if you go to the data field, at least you will not start from zero. that's my opinion :)
@@datawithrez Thanks Rez! I am also thinking in the same way. Actually I was planning for study in Germany so someone told me to acquire android development skill for part time work. But during surfing I came to know about Data Science and honestly I found it more interesting. One question. . Should I have to learn Python or I can start with Java too? Beacause I have to start from scratch to learn any Programming Language.
I think it depends on the company. Most of the time they ask you behavioral questions and theoretical questions on the first interview, then if you pass they will give you tasks. But some also have live coding. So it really depends
It took me more than a year and until now still learning but I think it also depends on your background and learning rate :) Learning was not the problem but finding a job. It was hard to convince them if you still don’t have the experience.
Dear ma'am ❤️ Thanks for this video , I really wanted to know how's that journey and u spoke it truly including all ups and downs that one's non technical person faces in this type of field. Yesterday I requested them on comment box #codebasics #dataprofessor and they decided to took interviews of all those people who chooses comp sci field from non technical background to motivate and mentor us. 😇 If your wish ,I wanna you be there in that interview to guide from the basics. 🙏 are you ? If you read this, then do me know ❤️ I
Hi, I also live in germany, in germany they dont value selfthaught learning at all, what is a shame. Currently I am doing my bachelors degree in economics with specialisation in business informatics.
True. that's why I decided to just take that degree so they will at least see the credibility :) but maybe there are some exceptions? making projects will maybe convince them but that project needs to be really good and not just the common projects they see.
Hello, thank you :) personally, I was not happy anymore and I think Biology was not meant for me. It's also very hard to find good paying jobs around this field. So that's why I decided to move more in tech :)
Hey Bhavana, it's maybe in total 3 years to get a full time DS job. that's because when I did the self learning I couldn't get an internship, that why I decided to take a Masters that is 2 years. but during masters I'm already working as a part-time data scientist. So to enter the data world I think it took me 1.5 years but the masters degree really helped a lot in my case
Hey, I got no bachelors in DS but I got a Masters from Frankfurt School of Finance and Management :) Previously, I got a PhD in Biology from IIT, Philippines 😊
@@datawithrez hello maam ,plz guide me some useful tips for data science I have clear 12 calss from commerce stream and I am now bca in first year. Plz tell me some guidelines for data science. Thankyou for your Reply Maam ☺☺
Hi Riz, can you share how long does it take for you from self-learn to get a job as Data Scientist? how long was your internship period to finally become a full time Data Scientist? Thank You.
Hi Vince, in my case I did 1-2 years or more self-learning, then tried to apply for an internship and no luck. So I decided to get a Master's degree in Data Science instead. Since I got it, it was not hard to get working student jobs and internships. :) Once I got those, I then applied for a full-time after my Master's degree was done.
When I was starting making my project before I worked on the breast cancer prediction as my first project :D I got the dataset from Kaggle. Now I'm working in a pharma company and is helping to build a data product related to hc. but yeah, that's where I started :)
did you get a bachelor or master degree in DS in germany ate? i am a filipino as well taking up business information systems bachelor sa germany. choosing the career path of DS as well coming from the tourism industry :)..
Hi! I have done Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from India and want to pursue Masters in Data Science from Germany. I wanted to know if I can get admission in German Public universities as they require similar course in Bachelors. In my bachelors I had some subjects like Engineering Statistics, Engineering Math, Numerical Analysis and Computer Programming and I'm learning Data Science from online courses as you mentioned above. So, will I have chance for admission?
Hi @Aman, public German universities, always require a specific level of german language. I think it's at least B2. If you have this your chance will be very high, otherwise, I think they can still get you given your grades, credits, and gmat score, but before you go to your proper course, you still have to study 1 year of german language first, in the university if they offer it.
@@datawithrez Thank you.... is B2 level proficiency mandatory for english taught courses also?...and can gre score be used for admit in data science masters?
Hi Rez, How did you manage to get a masters in Data Science without relevant bachelors degree?? If you don’t mind, could you tell me the course that you did ?
Hi Vivek, I got a PhD in Biology. I think this also helped me to get the masters without the conventional technical background. After all, I was involved with a lot of analysis in my previous research. I that was a big factor. I just did some online learning while doing phd. :)
Thank you for this information. I am a sociologist but I want to change my profile into Data Science. I study Media Analysis in Germany. Do you recommend any German university open to accept student from non IT background?
Look into data science or computer science conversion degrees in the UK; they are made for people with non-computing backgrounds. Some of them are online, so they may be a good option for you if you can’t move.
I honestly mean no disrespect but how on earth did you qualify for a masters in data science, IN GERMANY, with a biology degree?? Great video and information by the way, thanks for making. Liked and subscribed.
Can you make a video about how you got into master program from a different background? Am trying the same thing in Germany, with a UG in automation engineering and no school is willing to accept student from other background
Hi @Simbol, what schools did you checked out? As for me, my school was private therefore they don't have very strict requirements about it compared to public schools. I tried applying to public uni before and even I got PhD they won't allow me to have MSDS but they are willing to put me in the bachelors in DS which for is not a good bargain
I did not have tricks with me except that I got lucky that they are looking for DS students and I got scholarship. To get the scholarship I just had a compelling story to tell and personal interview should be good.
@@datawithrez Thank you very much for the reply. I tried applying to public universities, TU Dortmund, Saarland e.t.c They seemed very strict on their undergraduate requirements
Hey sure you can if you really want it :) there will be more learnings compared to people with Tech background and more things to prove when you apply for an internship but it's possible..
Hello Rez. I am from non-technical background. Working as a Sales and Marketing professional in a manufacturing firm here in India. My company doesn't possess any positions like data scientist or data analyst. I have knowledge of DS, ML, ANN, CNN, RNN, LSTM, Time series, fb prophet which I gained from a reputable online institution and they certified me as a data scientist AlI need a career transition from sales to data science. I have applied so many companies in India but they require some experience people. Tell me whether I can apply directly into German tech companies from India or do I need any prior experience My age is 32
Hi Mohammad, thanks for your comment. this is interesting because you have these knowledge already, I think it would be hard to apply directly to tech companies in Germany without prior experience. The competition would be too tough, I would suggest that you first apply theses knowledge in your own field. Data science is so applicable in Marketing and sales, you can try machine learning for targeted marketing, or regression models for forecasting your sales and once you do this you'll initially have the experience. Make sure you highlight these applications of machine learning models in your resume. These combination of fields is really strong in banking and other industries that applied DS. :)
Don't worry about the age. You have experience on other things too. I even know a person who's 30 and still doing internship. companies won't care about that that much. They will care more what you can offer to the table :)
Very informative,,,will DS be a good switch for me as of now i work in field sales?but really has a passion to become Data scientist,plz reply and also you have a new subscriber now.
Hi Shaz, Sales and Data science knowledge is really a good combination. Do not switch your career 360 but combine both. Business knowledge and data science should really go together ☺️
@@katoracut86 hey, it really depends on the skillset and your experience. I wouldn't recommend quitting job completely :) perhaps apply data science in sales. Look for machine learning models that could solve your problems in sales, perhaps predictive analytics. Once you have this proof of concept and you already applied it, this could serve as your "experience" and maybe you could slowly look for DS jobs once you have it. But there will be no guarantee.. experience is really important :)
hey, check out pydata, sentdex, machine learning youtube videos by Andrew Ng, Zed statistics for statistics, and of course Khan Academy.. There are so many but I really like them :)
hey, we have. math, machine learning 1 & 2. Deep learning, nlp, reinforcement learning. business statistics, big data, ethics. and many more.. but these are the core ones..
@@datawithrez i am doing electronics and comm technology engg pls guide me , also want to do masters in germany please make more videos on these topics
Hi Riz, it would be great if you made a video on which data science masters courses(unis) you applied to in Germany. Because that would help many coming from different backgrounds get a tough idea. Also, I have an admit from MSc in Data analytics in University of Hildesheim, any opinion on that?
I don't know the uni but this sounds like a good deal :) You can also find current students of that uni and talk to them in LinkedIn, maybe they can tell better 😊
Hello mam, i have done B.sc. in maths, chemistry and physics with M.Sc. chemistry and doing course to be data analyst which include SAS , power BI, and some introductory part of R and Python. I will be working in healthcare domain like in pharma company which runs clinical trials and I will be working on trials phases data, Once I complete this course. So will i be able to shift in DATA SCIENCE in future after 2 to 3 years ?
impressive! is this an online course? I think you are really on the right path. I'm working on a pharma company working with clinical trials data as my job right now. I'm very sure you'll get there in no time! Keep going! ❤️
@@datawithrez it's institute but due covid 19 they are teaching online. Not like udemy or coursera ones. But my trainer said you will not need to to DS as this teachings are enough to built DS kind of career. Anyway thank you so much for ur reply ur kind and humble stay blessed :)
Steps to learn Data Science-
1.Programming Language -python core
2.python DS libraries (4 library's
2. Statistics (most imp)
3.Sql
4.ML(10-15 algorithms)
5.Cloud-AWS (To Deploye model)
6.Projects
7. Interview process......

I am a professional chemist shifting my career to freelancing. I need your advice on whether to learn Java and go for Android development or learn Python/R and go for Data Science. . ?
Which is better in scope and Future perspective?
Hi Umer, it looked like the 2 choices are very far. Data Science VS Android Development :) Which one do you really want to go? :) I am not familiar with Android development. For me, it looked like data Science has a bigger future in terms of job demand but I might be bias since I know the field more 😅 but given that you are a chemist you are already trained in data analysis and I think this is an advantage if you go to the data field, at least you will not start from zero. that's my opinion :)
@@datawithrez Thanks Rez! I am also thinking in the same way.
Actually I was planning for study in Germany so someone told me to acquire android development skill for part time work. But during surfing I came to know about Data Science and honestly I found it more interesting.
One question. .
Should I have to learn Python or I can start with Java too?
Beacause I have to start from scratch to learn any Programming Language.
if you go with Data Science then Python is best for it..
hey , how was your interview process? i hear in Germany they dont have leetcode kind of interviews
I think it depends on the company. Most of the time they ask you behavioral questions and theoretical questions on the first interview, then if you pass they will give you tasks. But some also have live coding. So it really depends
OK was it up to a year you learned data scientist if no then how many month did it took you to learn it
It took me more than a year and until now still learning but I think it also depends on your background and learning rate :) Learning was not the problem but finding a job. It was hard to convince them if you still don’t have the experience.
Dear ma'am ❤️ Thanks for this video , I really wanted to know how's that journey and u spoke it truly including all ups and downs that one's non technical person faces in this type of field.
Yesterday I requested them on comment box #codebasics #dataprofessor and they decided to took interviews of all those people who chooses comp sci field from non technical background to motivate and mentor us. 😇
If your wish ,I wanna you be there in that interview to guide from the basics. 🙏 are you ?
If you read this, then do me know ❤️

@this is rez do you have any social media account? 🤔
Hi, I also live in germany, in germany they dont value selfthaught learning at all, what is a shame. Currently I am doing my bachelors degree in economics with specialisation in business informatics.
True. that's why I decided to just take that degree so they will at least see the credibility :) but maybe there are some exceptions? making projects will maybe convince them but that project needs to be really good and not just the common projects they see.
Hello! This is really inspiring! I'm just curious what's the reason behind changing career from a biologist to data scientist?
Hello, thank you :) personally, I was not happy anymore and I think Biology was not meant for me. It's also very hard to find good paying jobs around this field. So that's why I decided to move more in tech :)
How much time did it take for the transition?
Hey Bhavana, it's maybe in total 3 years to get a full time DS job. that's because when I did the self learning I couldn't get an internship, that why I decided to take a Masters that is 2 years. but during masters I'm already working as a part-time data scientist. So to enter the data world I think it took me 1.5 years but the masters degree really helped a lot in my case
Hello mam which bachelor and master degrees do you get In data science
Hey, I got no bachelors in DS but I got a Masters from Frankfurt School of Finance and Management :) Previously, I got a PhD in Biology from IIT, Philippines 😊
@@datawithrez hello maam ,plz guide me some useful tips for data science I have clear 12 calss from commerce stream and I am now bca in first year. Plz tell me some guidelines for data science.
Thankyou for your Reply Maam ☺☺
Hi Riz, can you share how long does it take for you from self-learn to get a job as Data Scientist? how long was your internship period to finally become a full time Data Scientist? Thank You.
Hi Vince, in my case I did 1-2 years or more self-learning, then tried to apply for an internship and no luck. So I decided to get a Master's degree in Data Science instead. Since I got it, it was not hard to get working student jobs and internships. :) Once I got those, I then applied for a full-time after my Master's degree was done.
@@datawithrez Thank you for sharing
@@datawithrez from which university u did Master?
I've a question...are you working projects of Data science in health care?
When I was starting making my project before I worked on the breast cancer prediction as my first project :D I got the dataset from Kaggle. Now I'm working in a pharma company and is helping to build a data product related to hc. but yeah, that's where I started :)
I am mechanical engineer and working in EHS domain in manufacturing industry so can I transit to data analyst or science
of course 😊
did you get a bachelor or master degree in DS in germany ate? i am a filipino as well taking up business information systems bachelor sa germany. choosing the career path of DS as well coming from the tourism industry :)..
Interesting background ☺️ I got a Masters in DS here in Germany ❤️
Hi! I have done Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from India and want to pursue Masters in Data Science from Germany. I wanted to know if I can get admission in German Public universities as they require similar course in Bachelors. In my bachelors I had some subjects like Engineering Statistics, Engineering Math, Numerical Analysis and Computer Programming and I'm learning Data Science from online courses as you mentioned above. So, will I have chance for admission?
Hi @Aman, public German universities, always require a specific level of german language. I think it's at least B2. If you have this your chance will be very high, otherwise, I think they can still get you given your grades, credits, and gmat score, but before you go to your proper course, you still have to study 1 year of german language first, in the university if they offer it.
@@datawithrez Thank you.... is B2 level proficiency mandatory for english taught courses also?...and can gre score be used for admit in data science masters?
Hello ma'am, you enrolled for master's degree in data science? Is it was online or completely offline degree???
Hey Ali, it was on-site offline degree :)
Hi Rez, How did you manage to get a masters in Data Science without relevant bachelors degree?? If you don’t mind, could you tell me the course that you did ?
Hi Vivek, I got a PhD in Biology. I think this also helped me to get the masters without the conventional technical background. After all, I was involved with a lot of analysis in my previous research. I that was a big factor. I just did some online learning while doing phd. :)
Hi Rez !
Can you share your LinkedIn profile plz ….also did you took English taught program or German taught?
Thank you for this information. I am a sociologist but I want to change my profile into Data Science. I study Media Analysis in Germany. Do you recommend any German university open to accept student from non IT background?
Hi, I think private schools are more likely to accept students with non-technical backgrounds.
Look into data science or computer science conversion degrees in the UK; they are made for people with non-computing backgrounds. Some of them are online, so they may be a good option for you if you can’t move.
I honestly mean no disrespect but how on earth did you qualify for a masters in data science, IN GERMANY, with a biology degree?? Great video and information by the way, thanks for making. Liked and subscribed.
@Chis Chang Fong, I honestly asked that to myself. i considered myself lucky 😅.
"char" hehe
From which university you did Master in data science?
I did it in Frankfurt School of Finance and Management :)
Can you make a video about how you got into master program from a different background?
Am trying the same thing in Germany, with a UG in automation engineering and no school is willing to accept student from other background
I will really appreciate a response from you
Hi @Simbol, what schools did you checked out? As for me, my school was private therefore they don't have very strict requirements about it compared to public schools. I tried applying to public uni before and even I got PhD they won't allow me to have MSDS but they are willing to put me in the bachelors in DS which for is not a good bargain
I did not have tricks with me except that I got lucky that they are looking for DS students and I got scholarship. To get the scholarship I just had a compelling story to tell and personal interview should be good.
@@datawithrez Thank you very much for the reply. I tried applying to public universities, TU Dortmund, Saarland e.t.c
They seemed very strict on their undergraduate requirements
I am a dental student .am I eligible to switch my carrier to data science !?
Hey sure you can if you really want it :) there will be more learnings compared to people with Tech background and more things to prove when you apply for an internship but it's possible..
Hii ma'am i am from India and i recently take data science for my graduation degree can you plz help me to being a good data scientist its my dream ❤️
@This is rez can how can i talk to you is their any way to connect with you
Hello Rez.
I am from non-technical background. Working as a Sales and Marketing professional in a manufacturing firm here in India.
My company doesn't possess any positions like data scientist or data analyst.
I have knowledge of DS, ML, ANN, CNN, RNN, LSTM, Time series, fb prophet which I gained from a reputable online institution and they certified me as a data scientist
AlI need a career transition from sales to data science.
I have applied so many companies in India but they require some experience people.
Tell me whether I can apply directly into German tech companies from India or do I need any prior experience
My age is 32
Hi Mohammad, thanks for your comment. this is interesting because you have these knowledge already, I think it would be hard to apply directly to tech companies in Germany without prior experience. The competition would be too tough, I would suggest that you first apply theses knowledge in your own field. Data science is so applicable in Marketing and sales, you can try machine learning for targeted marketing, or regression models for forecasting your sales and once you do this you'll initially have the experience. Make sure you highlight these applications of machine learning models in your resume. These combination of fields is really strong in banking and other industries that applied DS. :)
@@datawithrez
Age would be a constraint if I will apply in Germany after 2-3 years from now after get experience
32 is pretty young :) For entry level data science position I think it's still okay.
Don't worry about the age. You have experience on other things too. I even know a person who's 30 and still doing internship. companies won't care about that that much. They will care more what you can offer to the table :)
What school do you go to po?
Hey Arthur, for my Data Science degree, it is Frankfurt School of Finance and Management.
Very informative,,,will DS be a good switch for me as of now i work in field sales?but really has a passion to become Data scientist,plz reply
and also you have a new subscriber now.
Hi Shaz, Sales and Data science knowledge is really a good combination. Do not switch your career 360 but combine both. Business knowledge and data science should really go together ☺️
@@datawithrez please clear one more doubt ie if i want to quit field sales completely in that case DS will help to find a job?
@@katoracut86 hey, it really depends on the skillset and your experience. I wouldn't recommend quitting job completely :) perhaps apply data science in sales. Look for machine learning models that could solve your problems in sales, perhaps predictive analytics. Once you have this proof of concept and you already applied it, this could serve as your "experience" and maybe you could slowly look for DS jobs once you have it. But there will be no guarantee.. experience is really important :)
I'm maths student.i'm eligible or not for data science course? Pls reply
of course, math and statistics is the foundation of Data Science. you can definitely pursue it ☺️
@@datawithrez thx😊
Mam suggest some important CZcams channels.
hey, check out pydata, sentdex, machine learning youtube videos by Andrew Ng, Zed statistics for statistics, and of course Khan Academy.. There are so many but I really like them :)
@@datawithrez thanks for your prompt reply.
What they teach you during your masters
can you pls name the subject's
thank you👍❤️
hey, we have. math, machine learning 1 & 2. Deep learning, nlp, reinforcement learning. business statistics, big data, ethics. and many more.. but these are the core ones..
@@datawithrez Thanks
currently i am in 2nd year , what can i do to becm data scientist
please guide me in a simple way
may I know your course? 😊 I'm going to make a video about this since this is a very frequent question asked :)
@@datawithrez i am doing electronics and comm technology engg
pls guide me , also want to do masters in germany
please make more videos on these topics
Hi Riz, it would be great if you made a video on which data science masters courses(unis) you applied to in Germany. Because that would help many coming from different backgrounds get a tough idea.
Also, I have an admit from MSc in Data analytics in University of Hildesheim, any opinion on that?
I don't know the uni but this sounds like a good deal :) You can also find current students of that uni and talk to them in LinkedIn, maybe they can tell better 😊

Hello mam, i have done B.sc. in maths, chemistry and physics with M.Sc. chemistry and doing course to be data analyst which include SAS , power BI, and some introductory part of R and Python. I will be working in healthcare domain like in pharma company which runs clinical trials and I will be working on trials phases data, Once I complete this course. So will i be able to shift in DATA SCIENCE in future after 2 to 3 years ?
impressive! is this an online course? I think you are really on the right path. I'm working on a pharma company working with clinical trials data as my job right now. I'm very sure you'll get there in no time! Keep going! ❤️
@@datawithrez it's institute but due covid 19 they are teaching online. Not like udemy or coursera ones.
But my trainer said you will not need to to DS as this teachings are enough to built DS kind of career. Anyway thank you so much for ur reply ur kind and humble stay blessed :)
