What is this topic about?

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM skills are central to many programmes at Arden, including Computing and Engineering. These and other courses often require you to develop technical skills and work with numerical data, understand complex formulas, and use specialised statistical software. To help you build or refresh your programming and statistical skills, we offer a range of resources and workshops.
