Hi
I’m a young IT audit professional who is interested making a switch into data science and analytics as a career. This upcoming academic year however, I received a Fulbright scholarship to go teach English part-time in Europe at university. I’ll have a lot of free time outside of teaching to pursue other interests/projects and I’m hoping to pursue a feasible project or research in data analytics that can help me build my resume and skillset while I’m gone. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for potential projects or research I could do using data analytics over a period of 6-8 months (I’m a novice with some SQL, Tableau experience, currently learning python, R ). I was thinking that I could collaborate with the the university and get access to /collect data regarding the university (students, classes, grades, prospective students, operations etc) in an effort to improve the university’s effectiveness and drive insights as I’ve read articles and success stories on universities using big data to improve themselves and better make decisions. However, I’d love to hear more ideas from folks more experienced then myself about other potential things I can look into that I might not think about
To add - my plan after the Fulbright is to go straight to grad school (already accepted) or find an entry-level analytics position
