Data has the potential to transform the way business, government, science and healthcare is carried out. Conventional manual techniques, however, aren’t capable of handling the deluge of data that modern systems generate. Data science, which applies specialised computational and statistical techniques to analyse such ‘big data’, is considered one of the key skills of the 21st century and there is a skills shortage in this field.

This interdisciplinary course will give students a range of technical skills necessary to work in data science across a variety of industries. Students get an excellent platform to learn and apply technical skills in wide ranging areas such as forensic investigation, research, business, and scientific applications. Students will develop skills in data management: on and off the cloud, machine learning, statistical modelling and a range of big data technologies that will distinguish them from their competitors as they enter the workforce.

This program falls under MU’s Faculty of Science and Engineering. The admission process for Master of Data Science has already begun and students can apply by visiting http://courses.mq.edu.au/2018/international/postgraduate/master/master-of-data-science.

True to its founders’ vision, the University has challenged the conventional thinking of academia through innovations in its campus set-up, curricula, interdisciplinary research and engagement with industry and the wider community.

Macquarie’s approach has paid off. Hundred percent of its research activity is rated through the ‘Excellence in Research for Australia’ initiative at world standard or higher, and it has received a rating of 5 stars across all categories measured by QS. 90% of its graduates under the age of 25 are employed within 6 months of completing their studies.
