Bachelor of Data Science

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

Across the world, we are collecting unprecedented amounts of data. It’s the new currency. However, simply having access to that data means very little if we’re not able to derive meaningful insights from it. We need skilled data scientists to understand and interpret the data; create and communicate meaningful insights; and use the data ethically and understand its limitations.

A significant and accelerating challenge for modern business is managing fast incoming, voluminous and varied data that are increasingly being relied on to make decisions. This course includes an entire unit addressing the emerging frameworks in modern data management.

Outside the business world, data science is increasingly at the core of new scientific and technological breakthroughs. The structure of our data science course recognises the rapidly developing importance of data-driven discovery in science and technology by providing options to minor in complementary studies like Computational and Simulation Science, which will equip you to operate at the forefront of this field.

Data scientist, as a career, has grown by 492 per cent from 2015 to 2019 (Burning Glass Technologies, National Skills Commission Analysis, 2020). It is widely acknowledged as one of the most desirable careers, not just in Australia, but globally.
