New Machine Learning Module Livestreams
Metis Data Science Expertise from New York City to Europe’s Hottest
City for Tech Workers
Dublin Business School (DBS), Ireland's largest independent
college, has partnered with leading data science training provider
Metis on the college's first internationally delivered live online
course, a machine learning module taught live in Dublin by Metis's
New York City data science experts.
Part of Dublin Business School’s new Master of Science Degree in
Data Analytics, the 12-week Machine Learning module was custom
built by Metis data science experts to teach students how to use
machine learning techniques and skillsets to achieve business
goals.
One of the first of its kind in Ireland, the master’s degree
program is accredited by Quality and Qualifications Ireland, the
national agency responsible for qualifications and quality
assurance in higher education. Metis, which was launched in 2014 by
Kaplan, Inc. in the United States, is accredited by the Accrediting
Council for Continuing Education and Training, an agency recognized
by the US Department of Education. All Metis bootcamp and corporate
training programs are designed and taught by expert data science
practitioners, and Metis alumni in the US have gone on to work at
top companies including Instagram, IBM, Spotify, Tumblr, Facebook,
BuzzFeed, Deloitte, Apple, Tinder, CapitalOne, Uber, and many
more.
“Dublin has become a top European headquarters for technology
multinationals, so the demand for data science expertise in the
city is accelerating,” said Dr. Deborah Berebichez, Chief Data
Scientist at Metis. “As Metis expands internationally to cities
where data science talent is needed, we’re not losing sight of what
we do best: providing dynamic, engaging learning experiences taught
by top practitioners in the field.”
Students from all over the world are increasingly choosing to
study in Dublin, which is also home to Europe’s fastest-growing
tech worker population. Dublin is set to overtake London as the
biggest European data center market in 2019. Officially launched in
January 2019, the first Machine Learning module cohort of thirty
students includes learners from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and
Turkey. International students who receive master’s degrees from
DBS are eligible to live and work in Ireland for two years.
Executive Dean of Dublin Business School, Andrew Conlan-Trant,
said, “We're really pleased to commence this very exciting
collaboration with Metis. The experience for students is hugely
enhanced by bringing the deep expertise of Metis into the DBS
classroom, and live online delivery has a very positive impact on
engagement in the class. This is a real example of the strength of
Kaplan's scale and breadth and the benefit it delivers to
students.”
