    One of the great advances in technology is that machines can learn without humans teaching them explicit rules – e.g. letting machines train on samples of speech allows Siri to recognise your commands. Machine learning is a large part of artificial intelligence, and a mystery to most of us. This practical course teaches you how to program learning algorithms in Python. We will cover fundamentals of classification, natural language processing, financial predictions and much more. You will learn elements of data mining, how to choose a learning algorithm, and how to tweak parameters of the algorithm. We will briefly cover the theory behind the algorithms, so some maths knowledge is useful, but not required. To enrol, you must have experience with Python or a similar programming language, e.g. have taken City Lit’s Introduction to Python or Introduction to R programming course.

    Strengthen your Python programming skills with this advanced course focused on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)—a key approach in modern software development. Learn how to design and implement class hierarchies, understand core OOP concepts like abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, and apply them effectively in Python.

    You’ll also explore functional programming features such as closures and generators, and gain practical experience with unit testing and test-driven development. Ideal for learners with prior Python experience, this course equips you with the tools to write clean, scalable, and maintainable code for real-world applications.
