Overview
Master of Data Science
Data can potentially transform how business, government, science and healthcare are carried out.
Conventional manual techniques, however, can’t handle the deluge of data that modern systems generate.
Data science, which applies specialised computational and statistical techniques to analyse big data, is considered a vital skill of the 21st century, and there’s a skills shortage in this field.
Macquarie's interdisciplinary Master of Data Science will provide you with the technical skills to work in data science across various industries.
It emphasises concepts, insights and skills that will enable you to use current technologies and adapt to and create new technologies.
You’ll be able to process and analyse data sets; use mathematical and statistical modelling techniques, machine learning and data mining to solve challenging problems; and communicate your findings to different audiences.
Key features
- Gain technical knowledge relevant to a range of industries
- Stand apart from your competitors as you enter the workforce
- Gain a valuable set of interdisciplinary skills
- Expand your understanding of data science
