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.

I did not need to recognize ETCS credits, since Im already working, but I can confirm that this course was useful for my personal growth and my perception about your organization is positive. I added on certifications ESS on my Linkedin as on the Education part it could not be visible at the top of the list during preview.

I had the pleasure of undertaking the business management course in August 2021. I cannot recommend ESS enough! The activities schedule was structured perfectly, it was a great mix of it being both educational and enjoyable. All the staff are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. I really recommend this great experience to everyone. I feel grateful to have met lifelong friends from all over the world who I still keep in touch with to this day!
