Bachelor of Data Science

The insights of data and analytics influence our everyday lives, from streaming service algorithms to the life altering decisions made by science, industry and government. Data Science combines the practical application of mathematics, statistics, computer science and analytics. It is the study of how to extract value from captured or simulated data to infer knowledge from patterns.

In our data-driven world, there is a clear need for individuals from this field who can think analytically, creatively and leverage AI and big data to aid in decision-making. Learn to synthesize and apply statistical and computer science skillsets to ethically extract knowledge and insights from data. The Data Science program has a basis in data wrangling, inferential statistics, analytics, AI, big data and data ethics.
