Data Visualization and Storytelling

Wednesday, August 19th, 2026

This course is a practical introduction to data visualisation. It is designed for learners at a advanced level who want to move from scattered knowledge to a clear, usable understanding they can apply straight away.

Across 5 lessons you will work through the core ideas step by step, with short exercises after each section so you can check your understanding as you go rather than at the very end.

What you’ll cover:

• Choosing the Right Chart Type
• Colour, Scale and Honest Axes
• Designing for Your Audience
• Building a Narrative With Data
• Presenting Findings That Stick

By the end you should be comfortable enough with data visualisation to keep learning on your own, and to apply what you have covered in a real data context. No prior specialist background is assumed beyond basic familiarity with the subject area.
