Unit 1: Help and support in your studies

The ongoing digitization of our society is making the ability to understand and deal with data increasingly important. Data literacy, i.e. the ability to deal with data methodically and to consciously use and scrutinzing it in a given context, is not only special skill for individual expert groups such as data scientists or data stewards. Instead, it is a fundamental core competency that is relevant not only in science, but also in our professional lives and for social participation.

The DaLiJe ("Data Literacy Jena") certificate program is designed to give students from all study areas the opportunity to acquire skills in dealing with data, from general basics to disciplinary methods. No special previous knowledge is required, all students of the Friedrich Schiller University can participate. The certificate program can be completed over the entire period of study. Students can pick their own starting date.
