Bachelor of Data science (BDS)

Bachelor of Data Science

Data Science is at the intersection of three domains: computer science, mathematics and statistics, and application (e.g. business, social science, health).

The insights of data and analytics influence our everyday lives, from streaming service algorithms to the life-altering decisions made by science, industry and government. Data Science combines the practical application of mathematics, statistics, computer science and analytics. It is the study of how to extract value from captured or simulated data to infer knowledge from patterns. Data scientists form questions, design the collection and storage of data, write reliable and fast code for wrangling datasets, utilize inferential statistics, machine learning and AI to analyze the data and present the translated results in a responsible, reproducible and actionable way.

Concentrations

• Artificial Intelligence (AI): The concentration in AI allows you to learn more about computer science theory and AI.
• Statistics: For students looking to increase their knowledge of inferential statistics and the theory behind it.

Prospective students are advised that the program is still subject to formal approvals.
