DASC-MAJ Data science

Data science develops the mathematical, statistical and computational capability needed to work with data across the full analytical lifecycle. You will study discrete mathematics, calculus and linear algebra, data science fundamentals, predictive modelling, machine learning, data visualisation and methods for learning from complex data.

The major is designed for students who want to acquire, prepare, analyse, model, visualise and communicate data in ways that support evidence-based decision-making. You will build capability in statistical reasoning, machine learning, uncertainty, data visualisation, complex data, and computational methods, with options to extend into forecasting, advanced statistical modelling, big data, data warehousing, optimisation, generative artificial intelligence and advanced data challenges.

This major prepares you for roles and further study involving data science, analytics, machine learning, data visualisation, data engineering, forecasting, decision support, computational modelling and applied artificial intelligence.
