Overview

Key facts

The 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.

Data is ubiquitous, graduates who are able to harvest knowledge from the data oceans are highly sought after in all sectors, mining and resources industry, health care, government and non-government agencies, just to name a few.

You'll learn to:

apply data visualisation, interpretation, storage and synthesis skills in complex real-world settings

use predictive modelling to forecast future trends, outcomes and scenarios

understand the opportunities and constraints of contemporary data science practice as it applies in various industries

work effectively as a team member and as a team leader for real-world data science projects

communicate data science, modelling and analytics clearly in oral, graphical and written formats

extend knowledge in data science through research, experimentation and analysis

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.
