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 Artificial Intelligence specialisation will provide you with the advanced knowledge and skills required for a successful career working with AI systems. You’ll critically examine emerging trends and topics, such as machine learning and natural language understanding. You’ll also consider ethical and legal questions about AI systems, and learn about core AI techniques and the business context in which they operate. And, you’ll have many opportunities to undertake practical hands-on experience developing and assessing AI solutions for business, including the option of an industry-based internship or supervised research project.
