Data Science
Data science isn’t just about crunching numbers — it’s finding insights that solve real-world problems. Data scientists interpret the information we have, and use it to create new opportunities, to solve complex problems — and even predict the future.
Our data science degree will teach you how to collect different types of data (including metadata) and how to use the latest tools to store, process, extract, visualise and find insights within it. You’ll also learn how to turn insights into decisions, and how artificial intelligence is changing how we see the world.
With data playing such a critical role in modern society, learning data science gives you the skills you’ll need to work in a range of fields — from marketing, to mining and beyond.
Better still, with our data science course under your belt, you’ll have the skills to not only solve problems with data — but to see them before they even happen. Browse our courses to find detailed course information, application dates, entry requirements, fees, subjects, ATAR calculator and more.
