R Programming for Beginners

🚀 R Preparation Course for Absolute Beginners (No programming experience?)

Never written a line of R code? Start here

Kick off your first semester by getting ahead of Quantitative Methods I – Foundations of Mathematics and R Programming. Many students find university‑level math challenging - and you’ll be learning R on top of it. This short, beginner‑friendly course covers the R essentials you’ll need to thrive from week one.

🎯 You’ll learn to …

• Install R and RStudio
• Write and run basic R scripts
• Use R like a calculator
• Plot functions
• Create R Markdown documents with LaTeX
• Work with vectors, lists, loops, matrices, and data frames
• Build simple visuals (bar charts, histograms, etc.)

📚 Why bother?

R is WU’s primary data‑analysis tool. At least four BBE courses (24 ECTS!) depend on it - more if you choose certain electives (finance, marketing, mathematics, logistics,...) . Mastering R now will save you hours later, boost your grades, and make the first two years a lot less stressful.

💻 Course format

• Concise theory notes + hands‑on examples
• Real WU‑style practice tasks
• Quizzes and coding exercises to track your progress

👩‍🎓 Who should enroll?

• Incoming WU Bachelor in Business and Economics (BBE) students
• No programming background required - start from zero
