UniSA Online’s data analytics degree is an opportunity to propel yourself into the booming field of data science. Employers are looking for people who can transform oceans of data into streams of meaningful insights to make better-informed decisions, drive business growth, and increase their competitive advantage. Through extensive industry consultation, we’ve designed a 100% online data analytics degree that covers emerging data trends and the latest developments in the field to ensure you graduate with a hyper-relevant skillset to enter the industry for the first time, or land a higher-level role.
What you’ll learn
Throughout your degree, you’ll study 10 data analytics-focused courses, seven IT-focused courses and three fundamental courses in maths and stats. At the start of your degree, you’ll cover key concepts in IT, programming, maths and stats, and foundation topics in data analytics before diving deeper into specialist data analytics courses in your second year. Towards the end of your studies, you’ll explore advanced topics in machine learning, artificial intelligence, text and social media analytics, data visualisation, and predictive analytics. For your capstone project, you’ll collaborate with an organisation on a real business challenge, using your skills to develop an approach to tackle a specific problem and deliver a solution for the client.
As cloud-hosted platforms and cloud solutions become part of modern analytics strategies, you must be armed with the most up-to-date knowledge. Learn about Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure, as well as other cloud service offerings from Azure and Google Cloud.
Take a practical, hands-on approach to learning and download the latest software professionals use – for free. Become proficient at using commonly used open-source statistics packages such as the R language. Discover data visualisation software such as Tableau and advanced data platforms such as Snowflake’s Data Cloud, as well as other tools and techniques for data acquisition and cleaning.
As a graduate, you won’t just gain technical data analytics skills. You’ll develop strong communication skills that will prepare you to present clear ideas and important business decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders across all levels of an organisation.
