Can you ‘Think like a data analyst’?
By Caroline Norris, on 13 March 2025
This summer, as part of the ExtendED Learning programme, the Digital Skills Development team is offering an exciting opportunity for taught students to get a glimpse into the world of a data analyst.
Storytelling through data: Think like a data analyst is a two-day workshop in which students will uncover and communicate the stories held within data. They will learn the basics of data analysis and visualisation using Microsoft Power BI and tell the compelling story of their data by using ‘Pechakucha’ presentation techniques and designing impactful infographics with the online tool Canva. They will undertake a data analysis group project, investigating real-world data and presenting their findings as a team.
This opportunity is specifically offered to postgraduate taught and undergraduate students as part of the wider ExtendED Learning programme to provide additional opportunities to develop skills beyond the curriculum.
For full details and to book, view this event on our Events calendar.

Subject: Inquiry About Participation in “Think Like a Data Analyst” Program
Dear Team,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m very interested in the Think Like a Data Analyst program and would love to take part. However, I’m currently pursuing a research PhD and wanted to check if I would still be eligible to join.
I’d appreciate any information you can provide and would love to discuss how I might be able to participate.
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Linda Bhreathnach -

Hi Linda, this opportunity has been created specifically for taught students in the first instance but if there is some capacity we may open it up to other students at a later date. I will be in touch if this is the case.
I am a remote student, will this be a hibrid event?
