Data Science Summer School 2026

It is with great pleasure to announce the 5th University of Malta Data Science Summer School at the University of Malta.

The Data Science Summer School is aimed at students of all levels, postdoctoral researchers, academics, members of public institutions, ICT practitioners, and professionals who would like a concise and practical introduction to the field of data science.

The event will be held at the Msida campus and will take place over the last two weeks of July (20–31 July 2026), excluding weekends.

This year’s summer school is designed for individuals with little or no experience in computer programming or data science. The sessions will cover the fundamentals of programming methodologies for data science using Python, as well as basic statistical and mathematical techniques, predictive modelling, and a capstone project during which participants will apply the knowledge acquired throughout the programme.

The programme provides a solid introduction and foundation in data science, enabling participants to progress to more advanced studies, such as the MSc in Data Science, the MSc in Digital Health, or industry-related certifications.
