Master of Data Science
Data analysis and modelling underpins all aspects of social and community development and thanks to the internet and smart phones there has been a dramatic growth in the scale and complexity of data that can be collected and analysed across industries including health care, sports, business practices, scientific discoveries and government policy.
To help process and navigate this vast and ever-growing mass of data, the industry desperately needs trained specialists who can understand and interpret vast amounts of data (big data), while providing effective and ethical ways to protect the privacy of that information.
Using a unique combination of interdisciplinary coursework, a strong background in research methodology and comprehensive training via industry-based projects (work-integrated learning), this course will uniquely position graduates of this course to become leaders in this field in either industry, the government sector or academia.
This course offers the chance to specialise in Sports Analytics, Business Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence & Computational modeling.
Study a Master of Data Science at UC and you will:
- Learn the knowledge and skills to read and interpret Big Data
- Become proficient using state-of-the-art industry tools
- Learn how to critically analyse databases and offer innovative solutions
- Gain practical skills working on real world issues
