Monash University
Bachelor of Computer Science (Data Science)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationAt Australia’s leading IT faculty, the Bachelor of Computer Science equips you with the problem-solving, programming and analytical skills you need to drive change and discovery for a better world. Dive deep into both theory and practice, then choose where you’d like to focus your career by specialising in algorithms and software, cybersecurity or data science and AI. Computer scientists are needed in nearly every critical industry.
In this degree, you’ll gain a deep understanding of computational theory and its mathematical foundations. Learn to design algorithms (instructions for computers) and data structures (ways to store information), then acquire practical programming skills to implement them in solutions. Importantly, you’ll be able to do so across many fields, creatively, efficiently and ethically.
Data Science major
Big data is not just a buzzword. Today, it drives how the world works – from choosing the right insurance to identifying what people see on social media. And this information age has just begun. Data science skills grow in demand every day. With all types of information being captured digitally, businesses need data scientists to help manage and make sense of it.
As an early pioneer in the field, Monash leads with its expertise in the theory and practice of data analytics. So when you study with us, you’ll be tapping into the collective knowledge of Asia Pacific’s largest cohort of data scientists. Available at Monash Malaysia only.
