Program Overview

Data is used by organisations of all sizes to make better decisions. In this degree, you will learn how to analyse and interpret data to inform decision-making and forecast trends.

This degree will teach you about secure and ethical ways to collect, store, and process large amounts of data — as well as how to understand and communicate findings by turning numbers into actionable outcomes.

As data is at the centre of every industry, you can use your diverse skillset across many fields.


Spatial Data Science

Spatial Data Science is an emerging field that combines art and science to explore spatial geographical data through visual and computational technologies to understand why activities and events occur in certain environments or spaces.

You will gain knowledge in Geographic Information Science (GIS) including using digital cartography, remote sensing, geomapping, and other visual data interfaces to interpret and analyse insights from the data. This can be helpful in conducting search and rescue operations, predicting potential disaster outcomes, planning smart cities, and more.
