Course Overview
Throughout this programme, the candidates will enhance their skills in machine learning and will learn to apply these skills to problems of the real world, related to the field of business. This online programme of Imperial Machine Learning for Decision Making is provided to the candidates through the platform of Emeritus and is brought to them by the Imperial College Business School.
The participating candidates will gain exposure to analytical techniques, for example, regression, classification and clustering and learn how to apply these techniques to real-life issues arising in the field of managing a business. The students will be provided with opportunities to have conversations with experts who have deep technical expertise about the subject, which will ultimately help them in having a greater impact on the company they work in.
This course is for a duration of 10 weeks wherein the students will not only be learning the theoretical know-how but also the practical applications of the concepts learnt.

Since this course of Imperial Machine Learning for Decision Making is a certification programme, it is not accredited. However, one can apply for the academic credit from this programme to the Imperial MSc in Business Analytics, if they wish to pursue higher education in business analytics.
A follow up is deployed by the Emeritus team that checks whether the participant is able to keep up with his/her assignments and submit them or time. This is known as follow up.
This course requires prior knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, and probability. No knowledge about programming is required. However, please note that all the course material will be in English and hence the submissions have to be in the English language only (except for non-English courses, such as Spanish).
Although the total number of candidates is about 600, a typical classroom will consist of about 150 students belonging to diverse groups from over 70 countries.
The course requires only about 4 to 6 hours of study per week; hence time has to be adjusted such that your work does not clash with your studies. The follow-up team will be there to keep track of your progress and help you keep up with the programme.
