Check if you qualifyThe University of Mines and Technology offers a Certificate in Data Analytics and Machine Learning through its Faculty of Computing and Mathematical Sciences. The programme runs on weekends, making it accessible if you have other commitments. It provides a practical introduction to a field that is in high demand across many industries.
What data analytics and machine learning programmes cover
Programmes of this kind usually cover the practical side of working with data. You learn to clean and organise data, explore it visually and statistically, and build predictive models using machine learning techniques. Teaching typically includes hands-on work with programming languages such as Python and R, querying databases with SQL, and using libraries for data analysis and model training. The aim is to give you the skills to turn raw data into useful insights.
Who the weekend-only format is for
This certificate is offered on weekends only, running on Saturdays and Sundays. That makes it a practical option if you have job, family, or other study commitments during the week. The format allows you to gain new skills without disrupting your routine, and the programme is delivered by the computing faculty at the University of Mines and Technology.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry to this programme is less competitive than to many computing degrees. That means you may not need extremely high WASSCE grades, but you still have to meet the university's minimum requirements. Visit the UMaT admissions page or contact the university to confirm which grades and subjects they expect.
