Data visualization is key in identifying patterns, relationships, potential problems, clustering, and many more in your data. It helps you to tell a coherent story and create a strong, visual, argument for your conclusions.
In this workshop you will learn how to create (advanced) visualizations using the ggplot2 package in the R statistical programming language. The workshop Data Visualization with R is held once per quartile.
After completion of the workshop, you will be able to:
- correctly select visualizations for your data;
- differentiate between bad and good visualizations;
- create visualizations using the ggplot2 package in R;
- find your own way online towards practical solutions in ggplot2 to solve your visualization needs & problems.
NOTE
To successfully participate in this workshop it is assumed that you have knowledge of using the R statistical programming language. If you are not familiar with R, consider to first follow the Introduction to R workshop.

Please note that this is a half day course, therefore the workload is 4 hours. You can’t put this as an individual activity in Hora Finita because there you can only list activities of 0.5 EC or higher. However, if you also complete other small courses, you can bundle them together into a single entry (i.e. ‘Introduction to R and Data Visualization with R’) and if they round up to at least 0.5 EC, you can enter them in Hora Finita as a single entry.
