About
If you consider yourself a big picture thinker, the UC Master of Data Science is the course for you. You'll be introduced to a whole new world of data interpretation and learn the skills to recognise, interpret and ultimately manage trends at both a micro and global scale. Data analysis and modelling underpins all aspects of social and community development. Thanks to the internet and smartphones, there has been dramatic growth in the scale and complexity of data that can be collected and analysed across a range of discipline areas, including the health care and sports industries, and in business practice, scientific discovery 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 (big) data, while providing effective and ethical ways to protect information privacy. Using interdisciplinary coursework, strong research methodology and comprehensive training via industry-based projects (work-integrated learning), this course will position graduates to become leaders in this field in industry, government or academia.
Students can specialise in Sports Analytics, Business Intelligence or Artificial Intelligence & Computational Modelling.
