Apply to The Data School

Ready to get started?

We think your application to The Data School should be fun, tell us something about yourself and be something you are personally proud of. You may find it surprising but at this point we don't need to see a CV, just some data analysis about a topic you are passionate about.

It may seem a little daunting at first but don't worry, we are here to support you at each step. Take a look at the process below which outlines each stage you will go through on your journey to The Data School.

Once you submit your application we will be in touch with some personal feedback and tips which you can use to make your data story sing.

Which stream are you applying for?

Analytics asks for a visualisation. Engineering asks for a pipeline.

Data analytics - London, New York, Hamburg

Send us a visualisation

Everyone who applies makes the same thing, so nobody is behind for not having a portfolio already.

01

Build a viz

Pick a dataset on a topic you are interested in, build a visualisation in Tableau and publish it to Tableau Public.

02

Share it with us

Send us the link through the Apply Now button for the location you want, with a short note about yourself.

03

Meet the team

A video call to talk through your work, and then an in-person interview with the team at our office.

What makes a good submission

  • A topic you genuinely care about - it shows in the work
  • A clear point of view on what the data shows
  • Your own dataset, not a sample or a tutorial follow-along
  • A short note about you, so we know who we are looking at

Choose your stream,
then your city.

Each cohort has its own application. If you are torn between the two, apply for the one you would rather do the work in and tell us.
