Graduate Certificate in Data Science

About this programme

This course is focused on establishing a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics and computer science/programming methods/tools that are central to data science. Data Science is an inter-disciplinary field, drawing on mathematics, statistics, and computer science, that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data. Data Science is a significant area of growth and potential employment in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. This course provides the necessary foundations in the disciplines of mathematics, statistics and computer science, and develops student knowledge and skills in some of the key tools and techniques relevant to data science. Students who complete this course will be able to articulate directly into the second semester of the Master of Data Science course.
