Large information models are an important component in many modern engineering and commercial applications. This course covers the principles underlying information modelling and database design and implementation.

After discussing the fundamentals of relational database, normalisation, database design and SQL, the course moves on to various business intelligence concepts, like data warehousing, dimensional modelling and OLAP. Finally, time is spent on various aspects of Big Data, including associated means of data storage and management, like Hadoop and NoSQL databases. The exact content of the course may vary slightly each time it is presented as database systems evolve continuously.
