Welcome to LSE DS205 - Advanced Data Manipulation, a LSE Data Science Institute course. Here, you’ll transform theoretical knowledge into professional-grade data engineering capabilities. For our very first iteration of this course, we’re partnering with the the Transition Pathway Initiative Centre (TPI) to tackle genuine climate finance challenges through advanced data manipulation.

You’ll work with real datasets, address actual stakeholder requirements, and develop production-ready solutions. This isn’t just courseworkβ€”it’s an opportunity to contribute to TPI’s mission of monitoring corporate climate action while building your professional toolkit!
