Programming is an essential part of the Master's degree program in Data Science. However, experience has shown that the relevant prior knowledge varies depending on the previous field of study or professional experience. For this reason, a preliminary programming course will be offered from September 8 to 10, 2025. The aim of the course is to impart basic knowledge of programming with Python and thus enable all students of the Master's degree program in Data Science to start their studies successfully.

Dates:
- 08.09.2025, 2 - 5 p.m.
- 09.09.2025, 9 a.m. - 4 a.m.
- 10.09.2025, 9 a.m. - 4 a.m.

Location: Room C12-3.04 is located in Grenzstr. 3 on the campus of Kiel UAS (Building 12). Those who cannot attend in person will be emailed a Zoom link.
