Aim and content
This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH.

Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list.

The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee.


Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Understand the basic principles of data science, including machine learning techniques
2. Understand the prerequisites for data science, including machine learning
3. Identify aspects of own research with and without data science potential
4. Interpret critically studies that apply data science methods
5. Communicate fluently with data scientists


Content
The aim of the course is to introduce key concepts of data science and machine learning to researchers with no prior knowledge of data science. Specifically, course participants will gain the basic understanding and vocabulary necessary to a) identify data science aspects of their own research, b) communicate with data scientists so that projects between the researcher and the data scientists can be collaborative, and c) critically interpret studies that employ data science or machine learning methods.

Key words: Diagnostics, machine learning, deep learning, epidemiology, data science


Participants
PhD students in health and medcial sciences with no or very little knowledge of data science. The course is designed with a cardiovascular focus
