Data Warehousing

Data Warehousing — Architecture, Modelling and Delivery

DataCloud WarehousingProject-Based
Data Warehousing

From dimensional modelling to cloud data platforms — the discipline behind every modern analytics programme.

Data Warehousing covers the architectural backbone of analytics: dimensional modelling (Kimball), normalised modelling (Inmon), slowly changing dimensions, and modern cloud warehouse implementations on Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift. Students complete an end-to-end mini-project from source extract through dimensional model to a published dashboard.

Programme Distinction

What makes this programme worth your time.

01

Cloud Warehouse Lab

Hands-on instruction across Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift trial environments.

02

End-to-End Mini Project

Each student delivers a source-to-dashboard mini-project as a portfolio artefact.

03

Modelling Discipline

Both Kimball and Inmon traditions — practitioners learn when each is appropriate.
