Data Visualisation and Communication
15.0 ECTS creditsStudents develop the ability to analyse and present data using visual tools and methods, as well as skills in collecting secondary data and open data, and in organising and structuring this data to facilitate further analysis.
Methods for visual examination and analysis of data include for example the creation of visualisations to investigate the distribution of single variables, the relationship between two quantitative variables, time series data, and cartograms and choropleth maps used to visualise geographical data.
Students learn to apply core principles of information design related to perception, colour, and formats by working on practical cases. Students also acquire skills in the creative design of visualisations that meet specific communication requirements.
