Overview

Bachelor of Data Science

This course at QUT covers the theory and the practical tools for data acquisition, storage, management, processing, analysis and visualisation.  

Ethical considerations, communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills are all given detailed coverage.

Your course progression has been carefully crafted to cater for the diversity of specialist mathematics skills, scaffold your development in coding, particularly in data science-relevant languages, and prepare you for a rewarding career in data science.

In addition, a suite of four-unit minor offerings is available. 

You can specialise in complementary areas, including Optimisation and Stochastic Modelling, Computational and Simulation Science, and Information Systems.

In your third year, your studies will culminate in the Data Science Capstone Project, where you’ll work with an industry partner to solve a significant real-world problem using real-world data sets. 

This will synthesise your knowledge and techniques in solving complex authentic problems and build your preparedness to enter the industry.

Data science is an ever-changing landscape. 

After graduating from this course, you’ll be ideally positioned to move with it, having developed fundamental tools and techniques and the critical thinking to lead in transforming the industry.
