Many of today’s problems rely on understanding and analysing data to solve them. From community health and tracking activity in social networks, to understanding our environment and climate change, data scientists are increasingly in demand.
Data scientists create and use a variety of tools and frameworks to examine patterns in data. These findings are then communicated to inform decision making and business strategy.
Our computer science laboratories provide the perfect practical environment to apply your knowledge and test your skills. As a student, you will use the latest data analysis and programming software such as Python, R Java, and SQL.
Our Bachelor of Data Science will allow you to develop core skills in data science that encompasses key elements from mathematics, statistics, computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
