"The content is detailed, challenging and highly instructive. The techniques and tools to analyse our data have been opened up to me in a way I didn't imagine possible. I felt stretched at every step of the way and fully engaged as the style of the reading and video materials as well as interactive tools brought each analytic technique to life. It felt like a challenging academic course with real value to everyday working life."
