These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
This program will provide students with the practical skills and knowledge to work in roles that are responsible for communication and application of data analytics to decision-making processes to provide discipline-specific solutions. Students have the opportunity to focus on more or less quantitative forms of big data analytics in a transdisciplinary setting that focuses on data literacy, ethical data management, data handling and visualization, data analysis, machine learning and decision-making processes within the chosen discipline. In the final year of the program, students undertake a project that allows them to apply their knowledge and skills to that discipline.
The Bachelor of Applied Data Analytics is an AQF Level 7 program with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
Conditions
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
