Information and data are being generated faster than ever before, with the trend driven by advances in computing power, exponential growth in internet use and increased cloud computing. Organisations can benefit significantly from the analysis of this data, resulting in growing demand for data science experts to inform and drive business decisions1.
This degree is designed to produce job-ready graduates to meet this industry need, and to fill the growing range of work opportunities in the market. Successful maths and data scientists draw on skills from a range of complementary disciplines, so this degree offers a balanced mix of mathematics, information technology and data science. In your final year you’ll have the chance to complete an industry-based project to experience real-world challenges and gain workplace experience.
You will graduate ready to work in a data science role in industry or the public sector. Because data science is also a tool that supports research across an increasing range of disciplines, you could also choose to continue with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) (Mathematics), a Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours), or eventually a PhD.
Flexible study opportunities are available, you can study full-time or part-time.
If you think you might be interested in secondary school teaching, you can apply for the Bachelor of Mathematics (Data Science)/Master of Teaching (Secondary) – a direct pathway to postgraduate study.
