Data Science

The study of data science incorporates mathematical and statistical knowledge and skills with programming, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning and related computing skills to extract meaningful insights from data. Students learn how to use a number of tools and frameworks to analyse patterns in data, and then communicate their findings.

As organisations continue to realise the importance of understanding data to help solve business problems and optimise operations, the need for data scientists will continue to increase.
