Who We Are The Data Science Society is a student-led professional body at the University of Aberdeen. We are a community of coders, researchers, and entrepreneurs—ranging from complete beginners to PhD candidates—dedicated to mastering the data-driven world.
What We Do (The Pillars)
Weekly Workshops: Hands-on sessions building real projects (Python, SQL, AI).
R&D & Open Source: Weekly deep-dives into State-of-the-Art (SOTA) research and contributing to global codebases.
Startup Incubator: Turning student ideas into products with enterprise-standard mentorship.
Professional Certification: Structured study paths for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud credentials.
Who Can Join? Everyone. You do not need to be a Computer Science student. Whether you are in Medicine, Law, Business, or Arts, data science is relevant to you. We provide the "from-scratch" training you need to integrate data into your specific field.
