Enable and lead evidence-based change
Data is today's universal currency. In virtually every organisation, sector and region, it's being gathered, analysed and applied with ever-increasing sophistication to inform better decision-making and guide innovation.
Consequently, top-level data scientists are in high demand worldwide, with opportunities only expected to grow. Our online Master of Data Science (Applied) puts them within reach.
Conducted 100% online over 2.7 years part-time, the degree is highly practical–all tools and techniques explored are fully aligned with industry best-practice. It's also extremely flexible, with course content drawn from, and relevant to, all areas of the economy.
In addition to gaining a strong awareness of data science's capacity for enabling strategic change and quality improvement, you'll develop advanced skills and understanding in:
- computer science and programming, including the use of Python
- contemporary ethical issues and regulatory standards
- key mathematical concepts and techniques for identifying data patterns
- the role and use of state-of-the-art machine learning tools and algorithmic techniques
- critical cyber security principles and techniques
- cutting-edge modelling and event simulation methods.
You'll also combine and apply your learning in a significant workplace-based research project.
