The Master of Data Science (MDS) delivers the knowledge and skill on 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 organisations. With a degree in science, engineering, arts or computing, one 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 students’ knowledge of the analytical, organizational and computational aspects of data.  This course caters to students from a variety of backgrounds by including foundation units in programming, databases and maths or statistics. However, for those who have this background from previous studies or work experience, they may accelerate their study with an exemption from these units or choose to take more data science electives. In final semester, students will take part in an Industry Experience team project, working with industry mentors to develop data-driven IT solutions. This course also offers an option to undertake a supervised minor-thesis research project, investigating cutting-edge problems. Students wishing to exit early can complete with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma of Data Science.
