Master of Data Science
Data Scientists are in demand in the information age, where big data is ever-changing and ever-challenging. Data Science extracts value from data assets, helping us understand the past, better manage the present, and effectively plan for the future. It plays a critical role in advancing industry, commerce, governance, and research so graduates skilled in this area are highly sought after.
The Master of Data Science (MDS) teaches you how to explore data and discover its potential – how to find innovative solutions to real problems in science, business, and government, from technology start-ups to global organizations. With a degree in science, engineering, arts, or computing, you can pursue a Master of Data Science, gaining skills in data management, data analytics, and data processing – skills needed in this fast-growing field.
The MDS expands your knowledge of the analytical, organizational, and computational aspects of data. You learn to manage data and gain an understanding of its impact on society.
The MDS caters to students from a variety of backgrounds by including foundation units in programming, databases, and maths or statistics. However, if you have this background from previous studies or work experience, you may accelerate your study with an exemption from these units, or choose to take more data science electives.
