About this program
A one of a kind degree in Data Science To graduate with a Bachelor of Applied Data Science, you must have completed all requirements from your first Bachelor's degree, as well as the 80 credit points required for this program. Graduates from many disciplines will benefit from skills in Applied Data Science. This program teaches a blend of skills from mathematics, statistics, and computing. Graduates will know how to embark on data-driven investigations and conduct visual and computational analytics for application in their own primary discipline. Note: The duration of this program is 1 year, to be completed after the requirements for your first Bachelor degree (for example if your first Bachelor degree is 3 years, the Bachelor of Applied Data Science will add 1 year to your study, making the total study time 4 years. Similarly if your first Bachelor degree is 4 years, then your total study time will be 5 years if you add the 1 year Bachelor of Applied Data Science.) This course is delivered by Western Sydney University.

A newer ANZSCO code (added 2022) that sits on CSOL only, supporting the employer-sponsored 482 and 186. Not on MLTSSL or STSOL, so it does not currently open the points-tested 189, 190, or 491, and no state nominates this exact code.
