About the Course
Now, more than ever, the world is demanding clever solutions to society's evolving problems. Employers from a range of sectors—from science to finance—are searching for intelligent minds who understand data science and can also apply their knowledge of their industries. However, there simply aren't enough people to fill these roles.* To help fill this gap, we've carefully designed our Master of Data Science to give you a solid foundation in computer science, statistics and applied data analysis. Developed in partnership with industry leaders, it'll give you the opportunity to specialise in big data and cloud computing, analytical science, or bioinformatics—and also gain practical experience through a research project or an intensive industry placement with organisations like Australian Institute of Sport, Telstra or the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. La Trobe also has industry partnerships with Optus, Cisco and Pivot Maritime. And you don't need a background in data analysis to study the Master of Data Science. Our course is designed as both a pathway into the industry and a next step for experienced practitioners.
