You'll be learning from researchers who are using social media data, examining social aspects of ridesharing and optimising indoor wayfinding and building evacuation.

You'll enter the Master of Data Science with a background in computer science or statistics (or both), and the course will be tailored to build your skills in the other discipline. If they meant that jobs in data science are increasing dramatically, that data scientists can work in fields as diverse as health, retail or ecology, and that data scientists are commanding high salaries, then they were spot on. Core subjects will give you a solid grounding in data science, so you'll have the technological and analytical abilities that are vital for managing and interpreting large, complex collections of data. Beyond the core subjects, elective subjects give you the freedom to dive deeper into a specialist area of data science. We know that you'll need more than technical capability to succeed in the workplace. To round out your skill set, you can choose from professional skills subjects, such as scientific communication, so you can start your data science career with confidence. If you'd like to gain more real-world experience, you can choose to complete an internship in a science or technology-related workplace for course credit.

Computers are changing the world, and our lives. We've been saying that for decades, and we'll keep saying it, because computing technology just keeps on advancing. You probably have what a few decades ago would have been called a super-computer sitting in your pocket right now. The Master of Computer Science will give you a broad base of high-level knowledge to keep up with these advances, with specialist skills in at least one area of knowledge systems, programming languages and distributed computing, information systems, mathematics/statistics, spatial information science or linguistics.
