QUT is also offering students a new suite of vertical double degrees which include the Master of Data Analytics. Double vertical degrees allow students to study a bachelor’s and master’s degree in one application, and in a shorter time than it would take to study them separately.

The new double vertical degrees are designed to combine Master of Data Analytics with a range of disciplines, such as biomedical science, business, engineering and information technology. This allows students to graduate with a competitive advantage and have a broader understanding across more than one field. They were created to specifically meet industry needs and bring together expertise in statistics, computer science, and business process management disciplines to deliver graduates who can lead data-driven decision making across a wide range of industries.
