Data Literacy Courses for Students

In the winter semester of 2023, the Data Literacy Project will once again be organizing various offerings that will give students the opportunity to increase their data skills.

The offers are designed in such a way that they can be taken up flexibly and according to one's own content-related interests as well as their schedule.

Hands-on Sessions

In the coming semester, we will cover a wide range of topics, such as tools for working with tabular data, critically examining statistics in everyday life, and understanding and questioning artificial intelligence and its application. A complete listing of all Hands-on Sessions can be found on website de.

Interested students from all departments can participate in the sessions. No special prior knowledge is required.
