Course overview
Data science is a multidisciplinary field that applies various techniques of data analysis, including computational and statistical methods, data mining and knowledge discovery. Together with specific domain knowledge, these techniques are used to extract information and uncover hidden patterns, trends and correlations in large quantities of data collected from a diverse variety of sources. Data scientists provide competitive advantage and allow businesses and governments to apply knowledge and actionable insights across a broad range of application areas.

Entry requirements
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
Postgraduate entry
- Applicants who do not hold the Graduate Diploma in Data Science must normally hold a degree or equivalent qualification in science, medical science, information technology, mathematics, statistics or a closely related discipline from an approved tertiary institution.
- However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

If the student's current English result is below the direct-entry requirement, consider the university's recognised English language pathway or ELICOS package. When the student successfully completes the approved pathway at the required level, the university may accept that pathway for English entry without requiring a new IELTS, TOEFL or PTE result. Always confirm exclusions for professional registration courses and the offer conditions.
