Undergraduate employability
Do you want to learn new quantitative analysis and data visualisation techniques to impress future employers? Q-Step offers a range of resources and opportunities for undergraduates.
Data visualisation
Our data visualisation video series, combined with a collection of video worksheets (you can also download all worksheets as a PDF), will teach you how to be an expert in creating clear and effective data visualisations.
These resources involve both critical, reflexive work where we think about the role that data visualisation plays in society, how different visualisations might be prepared for different audiences, while also involving more expert data visualisation techniques using the free and open-source software R.
Suggestions
A short video accompanies each worksheet to help ease you into the labs - we recommend watching them.
When an error message comes up in your console, the simplest way to resolve the problem is to Google them (feel free to copy paste them into your browser's search engine). Use helpful forums such as 'Stackoverflow' and the RStudio community boards to troubleshoot different solutions.
Q-Step placements
Funded by the Sheffield Q-Step Centre, the Sheffield Method Institute provides students with placement opportunities that offer exciting work experience with a diverse range of organisations in data-based roles.
