COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The Master of Applied Statistics – recently redesigned with industry partners to better reflect employability outcomes – is the only degree of its kind in Sydney. While other postgraduate statistic degrees are largely theoretical, this degree is fully applied, meaning you’ll not only learn how to obtain data, but also clean and analyse it, and then communicate your recommendations to those from both technical and non-technical backgrounds. You’ll also have the opportunity to augment your classroom learning by completing an independent research project that’s unique to this degree. The comprehensive, flexible Master of Business Analytics has a strong focus on the real-world application of business analytics tools and techniques. You’ll develop your knowledge of computer programming, databases, applied statistics and machine learning techniques applied to big data. You’ll become adept at recognising the importance of ethical reasoning in the solution of analytics-related problems. And you’ll learn how to collaborate effectively with diverse teams to achieve a range of purposes in varied contexts.
