ProviderDeakin UniversityThe volume and complexity of data available to organisations continues to grow, creating demand for professionals who can analyse, interpret and apply data effectively. Deakin’s Master of Data Science (Professional) equips you with specialised skills in data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, helping you transform raw data into meaningful insights for prediction and decision-making. You will develop technical expertise in data modelling, programming, and software development while working with complex datasets from a range of sources to address challenges across industry and government. You will also build an understanding of the ethical, regulatory and security frameworks that guide professional data practice. In your final year, you can tailor your studies through a professional pathway, with the option to complete a team-based project, industry placement, or research project aligned to your interests and career goals.
