The Graduate Diploma in Data Science (Applied) [online] is a fully online program suitable for students from a wide range of backgrounds and will provide the opportunity to build skill and expertise in the application of data science. Data Science is a rapidly evolving space with implications for the future of work and our daily lives.
Students will undertake a fixed study plan within the online program, moving through two course carousels that structure their learning to build on appropriate prerequisite knowledge. The first carousel provides foundational content in data science, including fundamental technical content, as well as an overview of data science as an organisational process. The second carousel, then extends this content further, providing deeper technical awareness of data science, as well as exploration of case studies of application, communication and visualisation from multiple disciplines.
The Graduate Diploma in Data Science (Applied) [online] is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 1 year. However, this program is only offered part-time for a duration of 1.3 years.
