Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) - Computing and Data Science

Overview

Studying this Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours) - Computing and Data Science from The University of Western Australia will transform how you see the world. In addition to the physical beings, a data scientist will also see their “digital twins”, in a variety of formats, numbers, text descriptions, audios, images, and videos, in streams, at super speed and high volumes, creating incredibly rich ever-growing data oceans that hold the power to advance our new digital civilisation. 

In this degree, you will build solid data storage, processing, visualisation and manipulation skills to build models for pattern discovery, predication and forecasting, and ultimately turn raw data into actionable knowledge.  

Career opportunities 

As organisations around the world implement and expand data-analytics programs, the demand for data scientists continues to grow.

Data science skills are increasingly in demand across industries including energy and resources engineering, bioinformatics and biochemistry, computational physics and astronomy, cities and transportation, health, finance, business advisory, marketing, geophysics, geographic information systems and biomechanics.
