Data Science in Banking and Financial Services

Facilitate Actionable Finance Strategies with Analytics

Data science is transforming almost every aspect of banking and finance such as trading, pricing, customer service, marketing, and sales. Managers and leaders in this field need to grasp the foundations of data science in order to understand how its application can make an impact on their organizations’ strategy and operations in these key areas. Vinayak Deshpande, Head of Data Science at the Data Science Institute, will teach you the core skills, knowledge, and technologies used by data scientists to perform risk assessment, fraud detection, and more. This training introduces techniques like exploratory data analysis, statistical inference, predictive modeling, and clustering and segmentation. You will gain insight into how to scale internal and external processes, evaluate business performance, and assemble effective analytics teams. The program takes 16 hours to complete, which can be divided into multiple sessions according to your schedule—for example, 8 x 2-hour sessions or 4 x 4-hour sessions. The technology used depends on client preferences: Python, R, Excel, or PowerBI.
