Knowledge Graph Academy

A live, hands-on introduction to knowledge graphs in practice

The Knowledge Graph Academy is a six-week, cohort-based learning programme for people who want to understand how knowledge graphs actually work — and how to use them thoughtfully in real-world settings.

This is not a passive, video-based course. All sessions are taught live, in small groups, with an emphasis on discussion, shared exploration, and learning by doing. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers — curiosity, engagement, and a willingness to experiment matter far more than prior expertise.

Participants come from a wide range of professional backgrounds, and the Academy is deliberately designed to support that diversity of experience.

How the Academy Works

  • 6 live teaching days over 6 weeks

  • Instructor-led, interactive sessions (not recorded)

  • Delivered online via Google Classroom

  • Small breakout groups (typically 3 people) for hands-on exercises

  • Ongoing discussion and support via a dedicated Discord cohort space

Sessions are spaced weekly to give you time to reflect, revisit ideas, and let concepts settle. There’s no required homework — the course is self-contained — but many participants choose to explore ideas between sessions.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of the Academy, you’ll have:

  • A solid understanding of knowledge graph fundamentals and graph thinking

  • Hands-on experience working with RDF, controlled vocabularies, and lightweight ontologies

  • Practical skills for querying knowledge graphs with SPARQL

  • Insight into how knowledge graphs are used in real organisational contexts

  • A clear sense of not just how things work, but why they’re done in particular ways

The emphasis throughout is on practical understanding, not abstract theory.
