The Master of Data Science, accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), is tailored to meet industry standards. The programme balances 80% of content from information technology subjects and 20% from statistics subjects – with an emphasis on real-world relevance and teamwork skills. 

All modules include practical applications and exposure to how computer science innovates other disciplines. You’ll take on project management options that span ethics, privacy, and data governance and gain confidence in teamwork, problem-solving, and presentation skills. 

The newly designed programme is as interdisciplinary as it is experiential. It has multiple subject areas, such as predictive modelling, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data visualisation, and analysis of big data. Each offers emphases in data science, empowering you to face the challenges and opportunities presented by a world increasingly informed and shaped by data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
