With quintillion bytes of data generated each day, data scientists have a huge role to play in shaping the future. Data science is a multidisciplinary field that blends mathematical methods, statistics, computing, business decisions and communication to solve real-world problems. 

UNSW’s Master of Data Science and Decisions is for STEM graduates and professionals who are seeking to specialise in this rewarding field. Over two years, you’ll study different programming languages and problem-solving techniques and learn how to process, interpret and present data using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. You’ll graduate with broad and advanced knowledge and skills across three core areas of data science: mathematics and statistics, computer science and economics.  

Data scientists work across a breadth of industries and sectors. They are key members of any strategic team – they translate data into insights that help drive business forward, enable breakthroughs and make a positive difference. If you’re analytical and detail-oriented, as well as curious and creatively-minded, a career in data science could be a great fit.
