Data Science Retreat
Data Science Retreat is a 3-month, full-time, immersive program for advanced data science and machine learning based in Berlin, Germany. DSR's rigorous bootcamp is taught in English and covers data science, business analysis, software engineering, communication, and career coaching. Founded in 2014, DSR provides state-of-the-art data science education and practical coaching to individuals, while also enabling businesses to identify and access untapped talent in a future-proof way. Participants get to work with real-world data and practical problems in order to develop a portfolio project, demonstrating that they can own a business problem, solve it, and communicate why their results are definitive.
DSR aims to help coders or people with quantitative training (like science, engineering, or math graduates) ramp-up rapidly for a data science career. Participants of the data science bootcamp have an average of 5 years of industry experience. Applicants must complete a 30-minute interview with DSR staff to discuss their background and education, and show their understanding of Python, data science, and machine learning.
Students receive career coaching including interview practice and assistance with resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles. Data Science Retreat has world-class mentors and partners, and provides networking events for students with top-tier technology companies. DSR also provides scholarships to applicants who are already involved with NGOs or for-profits working on projects related to social good, or who would like to start their own businesses focusing on positive environmental and/or social impact.

It's what you make it
The Data Science Retreat offers a comprehensive curriculum from industry experts who apply machine learning in their every-day jobs. It provides academic basics which are brought into practical perspectives with examples and exercises, commonly from the teacher's professional fields (unlike what MOOCs can offer).

The Data Science Retreat offers a comprehensive curriculum from industry experts who apply machine learning in their every-day jobs. It provides academic basics which are brought into practical perspectives with examples and exercises, commonly from the teacher's professional fields (unlike what MOOCs can offer).
This is definitely the course for those who want to maximise their development in the field of Data Science. You will be best prepared if you bring: i) at least basic coding skills in Python, ii) at least a basic understanding of the fundamental ML concepts (e.g. An Introduction to Statistical Learning by Gareth James + basics in ANNs), iii) enthusiasm to learn about new statistical concepts.
The course is what you make it. It provides you with a multitude of highly relevant and exciting topics as well as with the opportunity to deep-dive into each one of them. However, you choose how much you would like to deepen your knowledge in specific topics.
I myself took the most out of my portfolio project which forced me to revise and deepen specific topics as well as my coding. I worked with Adam on the prediction of marginal CO2 emissions from the Australian energy grid in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This kind of practical hands-on experience on a highly relevant industrial issue is difficult to get from online courses.
Although I know that DSR currently puts a stronger focus on it, one little thing that I found missing in my batch 19 was an enhanced focus on model deplyoment.
