What will I learn?

Data Science skills are typically in high demand in many industries including IT, business, security, health, intelligent transport, energy, and the creative industries. Data and analytics capabilities has developed rapidly in recent years. The volume of available data has grown exponentially, more sophisticated algorithms have been developed, and computational power and storage have steadily improved. Most companies, however, are not capturing the full potential value from data and analytics because they do not have the required expertise. To help address these challenges, the Postgraduate Certificate in Data Science will provide you with the knowledge and skills in key technologies used in data collection, curation, processing, integration, analysis, and visualisation, applied to a variety of data types. Students will be introduced to a data scientist toolkit that can be applied to build data-driven applications.
