Data Visualisation & Storytelling in the Age of AI

Turn data into decisions. Learn how to communicate insights in the AI era.

This intensive two-week summer school provides students with the skills and confidence to transform complex data into clear, compelling visual stories that inform, persuade, and drive decision-making. The programme blends data literacy, visual design principles, storytelling frameworks, and artificial intelligence to help participants move beyond basic charts and dashboards. Students will learn how to design effective data visualisations, craft meaningful mnarratives, and responsibly leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis and storytelling. Through practical exercises and real-world datasets from retail, healthcare, and financial services, participants will progressively build towards an individual capstone project using a comprehensive coffee shop case study. No advanced technical background is required. The course is tool-agnostic and focuses on transferable thinking and design skills rather than software-specific instruction.
