Bachelor of Computer Science - Data Science

Monash University

At their core, computer scientists are technology wranglers, using it in myriad ways to improve and accelerate the efforts of nearly every other industry. Give them data and theyll predict the effects of climate change. Let them apply machine learning techniques and they’ll make genomic medicine more accessible. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.In this degree, you’ll gain a deep understanding of computational theory and its mathematical foundations. Learn to design algorithms (instructions for computers) and data structures (ways to store information), then acquire practical programming skills to implement them in solutions. Importantly, you’ll be able to do so across many fields, creatively, efficiently and ethically.Studying Data Science, your learning experience will cover: technical skills in areas such as programming and databases modelling, visualisation and analysis, including using graphics and interactive visualisations for professional practice legal and ethical issues associated with collecting and interpreting data, and how to respond to them advanced data science knowledge via electives, including machine learning and deep learning, business applications of data science, big data management and countering malicious cyberattacks soft skills in communication, key to conveying your findings to future stakeholders.
