Data scientists are responsible for building intelligent systems, mastering intuitive processes and bringing structure to data. Demand translates to opportunities for appropriately skilled and qualified workers.

Seek.com.au forecasts jobs growth of 12.9 per cent in the sector over the next five years.

You will also have the option to continue to further postgraduate study. At UNE you will focus on learning how to build data science tools and software from the ground up. This will give you a more in-depth understanding of how to develop databases, machine learning and artificial intelligence than courses that simply teach you how to use commercially available software.
