Master of Data Science
Western Sydney University, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
Western Sydney University's Master of Data Science is a 160-credit-point degree, two years full-time or four years part-time, with a strong applications focus. Core subjects include Programming for Data Science, The Nature of Data, Big Data, Visualisation, Advanced Statistical Methods and Predictive Analytics, and students complete two self-guided master's projects that produce actionable insights and metrics. Entry requires a completed undergraduate degree in any discipline; prior statistics or programming is an advantage but not essential. An alternative pathway accepts a data science undergraduate degree plus two years of relevant full-time professional experience in roles such as data analyst, statistician or machine learning. Indicative international tuition is around A$41,200 per year. Graduates are equipped to work effectively in data-driven organisations.
