When it comes to pursuing a course like data science, the first word that instinctively pops up in our mind is ‘coding’. This was my first thought too, right until the first day. As the semester progressed, it soon become clear that this course is not just about the code – my first year was a journey brimming with discovering hidden potentials and enriching skills that not only helped me develop my coding abilities, but also helped prepare me for the corporate world.
