C06124v3 Graduate Diploma in Data Science and Innovation

The Graduate Certificate in Data Science and Innovation is an exit-only qualification for the Master of Data Science and Innovation (C04372), a world-leading program of study in analytics and data science.Taking a transdisciplinary approach, the master's course utilises a range of perspectives from diverse fields and integrates them with industry experiences, real-world projects and self-directed study, equipping graduates with an understanding of the potential of analytics to transform practice.

The course is delivered in a range of modes, including contemporary online and face-to-face learning experiences in UTS's leading-edge facilities.This course has been developed as a response to a global talent gap for people with data science knowledge, as identified and reported by the McKinsey Global Institute study (2011).

The study predicted a shortfall by 2018 of nearly 200,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers with the capability to make decisions using big data in the United States alone.The dramatic growth of data in every conceivable industry, from oceanography to market research, presents another major driving force in generating unprecedented global demand for data science skills.

Students must complete 48 credit points in total, including 16 credit points of electives.
