Thinking about a Masters?
The world-class Master of Data Science is made up of core statistics subjects, core computer science subjects, elective subjects, including prerequisite subjects if needed, data science or professional skills subjects or a research project plus a capstone data science project.
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 include:
- 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
