KEY EVENTS
- Industry Talks
We regularly invite industry experts and alumni to share with students about their industry, the work they do, and the key skills required along with the various job roles available in their industry. To name a few, we have hosted the likes of DBS, MAS, J.P. Morgan, EDHECinfra and Moody's Analytics. - Training Workshops
We conduct training workshops and boot camps in relevant data science tools and skills like Python, R, Github and Machine Learning to enhance what you learn in school. - Bidding Workshops
We hold a bidding workshop annually to inform fellow DSA students about crucial updates to the curriculum, important modules to take and the recommended progression through the major along with insights by seniors into the many electives available.
