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 enrolment 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 faculties. 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. Understanding basic concepts in Machine Learning
2. Understand the impact of data on Machine Learning outcomes
3. Apply Machine Learning to biological and medical datasets
4. Apply Python Machine Learning modules
5. Evaluate the performance of Machine Learning system
6. Disseminate the project result in a technical report
