These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
This program provides students with discipline-specific knowledge and data analytics skills. Students will have a major in one discipline of either economics, public health or science coupled with skills in statistics, programing, data management, visualization, communication, and ethics. Students are encouraged to undertake internships, and overseas study tours, and are eligible to be part of the University of Adelaide Deloitte Academy program. In the final year of the program, students undertake a project that allows them to apply their knowledge and skills in their chosen discipline using real-world examples and with industry and government.
The Bachelor of Applied Data Analytics is an AQF Level 7 program with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate a coherent understanding of the discipline and decision science by: 1.1 articulating deep knowledge of the discipline 1.2 explaining the role and relevance of the discipline and the application of data analysis to decision science in society.
- Exhibit depth and breadth of big data analytics knowledge and decision science by: 2.1 understanding the value of data to the discipline 2.2 understanding the statistical and numerical approaches to interpreting discipline data 2.3 being aware of the need to use data in decision-making responsibly and ethically.
- Critically analyse and solve discipline-based big-data problems by: 3.1 designing and planning an investigation 3.2 selecting and applying techniques to conduct an investigation 3.3 gathering, synthesising and critically evaluating information from a range of sources to apply in decision-making processes.
- Be effective communicators of big data (and its analysis) within the cognate discipline by communicating results, information, or arguments, to a range of audiences, for a range of purposes, and using a variety of modes.
- Be accountable for their own learning and professional work by: 5.1 being independent and self-directed learners 5.2 working effectively, responsibly and safely in an individual or team context 5.3 demonstrating knowledge of the regulatory frameworks relevant to their disciplinary area and personally practicing ethical conduct 5.4 demonstrating and articulating personal capabilities in preparation for employment.
