Bachelor of Applied Data Analytics (Environment)

For decision-makers, data is gold. But only if it can be interpreted accurately. All around the world, in every industry, employers are seeking professionals with not only statistical expertise, but the ability to 'see' new solutions in oceans of numbers.

Employers want graduates whose training in statistical techniques is matched by their knowledge of the discipline in which they are working. Our new Bachelor of Applied Data Analytics will help you step into this critical role in one of six specialist areas: agriculture, economics, environment, geosciences, physics, or public health.

What will you do?

• The degree is unique in Australia, in combining big-data analytics training with decision science. In addition to acquiring a firm grounding in data handling and management within the context of your chosen discipline, you will:
• learn to use big-data analytics within your chosen discipline, giving you the skills employers are looking for
• gain valuable industry experience through internship opportunities
• develop skills in statistical inference, including using machine learning
• design new models to address complex problems
  
  
• apply data analysis to develop organisational strategies for success in your chosen discipline
• undertake a significant research project in your final year.

Where could it take you?

You'll be well equipped to help organisations in your chosen area of specialisation identify opportunities for improvement and growth. You could work in government, consultancies or large corporations, at home or abroad. Or perhaps you'll apply your knowledge to drive decision-making in a venture of your own.
