R is one of the most important programming languages in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Built by academics, for academics, R has always been closely tied to statistics, research, and evidence-driven discovery. Its terminology and structure reflect the language of science itself, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to succeed in research or data-intensive fields.

Every strong researcher begins with the basics. Foundations of R Programming is your entry point into the world of R. This programme introduces you to the fundamentals of R, including data types, data structures, functions, packages, simulations, and variables. You won’t just learn to code—you’ll learn how to think about research problems through the lens of computation and analysis.

Over the course of this programme, you’ll gain hands-on experience that helps you build a solid foundation for more advanced stages of the R for Research series. Whether you’re a student preparing for graduate school, a researcher looking to add rigor to your analysis, or a professional transitioning into data-driven work, this programme provides you with the essential tools to start your journey.

With expert guidance, practical exercises, and real-world applications, you will leave this programme with both the confidence and skills to continue to R for Research II, where you’ll begin importing and managing complex datasets from the outside world.

Foundations of R Programming is where your coding and research journey begins.
