Module overview

Welcome to the Data Visualisation module! In this course, you would learn about the terminology, concepts and techniques behind visualising data, and will get to use a range of tools to get experience of creating visual representations of data. You will gain an understanding of how humans perceive data, and why certain techniques can greatly enhance the effectiveness of any visualisation. We will look at example images to critique them, building up knowledge about what works, and what doesn't. The course will include a mix of lectures, tutorials, seminars and hands-on exercises.
