The proliferation of new technologies is creating data faster than ever before. Organisations are using data and AI to improve operations and services, and using data analytics to improve business outcomes. Data analysts source and analyse data from many different sources, and work with experts across different domains to solve different types of problems. Data analysts go on to work in a wide range of professional settings, from public health to national security, from education to consumer and business services.

The Graduate Certificate of Applied Data Analytics comprises the equivalent of 0.5 years of full-time study. The program is taught in person.

This program is available to Domestic students only, and so it has no CRICOS code.

Admission Requirements

This program is only open to Domestic students.

Applicants must present one of the following:

The GPA for a Bachelor program will be calculated from (i) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades and/or (ii) a completed Bachelor degree using all grades other than those from the last semester (or equivalent study period) of the Bachelor degree. The higher of the two calculations will be used as the basis for admission.

English Language Proficiency: All applicants must meet the University's English Language Admission Requirements. Further information: English language admission requirements and post-admission support

Assessment of qualifications: Unless otherwise indicated, ANU will accept all Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications or international equivalents that meet or exceed the published admission requirements of our programs, provided all other admission requirements are also met.

Where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will base the assessment on the qualification that best meets the admission requirements for the program. Find out more about the Australian Qualifications Framework: www.aqf.edu.au.

Unless otherwise indicated, where an applicant has more than one completed tertiary qualification, ANU will calculate the GPA for each qualification separately. ANU will base the assessment on the best GPA of all completed tertiary qualifications of the same level or higher.

ANU uses a 7-point Grade Point Average (GPA) scale. All qualifications submitted for admission at ANU will be converted to this common scale, which will determine if an applicant meets our published admission requirements. Find out more about how a 7-point GPA is calculated for Australian universities: www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/admission-criteria/tertiary-qualifications.
