Connecting your organisation with Data Science graduate students
The Master of Data Science equips students with the technological abilities and analytical skills needed to manage and gain insights from large and complex collections of data. Students in their final year are suited to projects including data exploration and visualisation, statistical inference, model building for prediction and classification, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Examples of past projects
- Identifying effects of disease symptoms and environmental factors for disease prediction in agriculture.
- E-commerce data analysis for modelling customer behaviour to improve retention and user experience.
- Computer vision algorithms for identifying objects in user photographs for more efficient customer support.
- Using machine learning for predicting patient outcomes.
- Solving floor space allocation as a large-scale optimisation problem.
- Improving Australia's pollen forecast using a machine learning approach.
- Lifetime alcohol consumption trends to inform policy.
The students were brilliant, and hardworking and I enjoyed my meetings with them so much! I would highly recommend the programme! Arti Agrawal, Vividhata

The students have brought fresh perspectives and strong technical capabilities to some difficult, real-world data science problems. Their findings have directly informed our work and contributed to improvements in our products. Peter Ilfrich, cofounder and CTO of Solstice AI
Programs such as this create real value for both industry and students by allowing emerging engineers and data scientists to work on authentic commercial challenges with tangible outcomes. We would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with the University of Melbourne on future projects. Craig Wood, SRA IT
The program has been a valuable asset to Lithodat, and we would be delighted to participate in future cycles. Thank you again for the opportunity and for the excellent coordination over the years. Dr Fabian Kohlmann, Lithodat
