Combining a Bachelor of Computer Science and a Master of Data Science in a dual degree offers students a unique opportunity for extended study into a field within Computer Science that significantly impacts today’s world: data science. With this vertical dual degree, students learn how to make informed decisions in data-intensive environments and graduate with a combination of high-level technical skills and a capacity for creative and disruptive thinking, ready to solve big data challenges across business, social, government and health data. In the Bachelor of Computer Science, students combine theory with hands-on experience and gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of computer technology. Then, through the Master of Data Science, study advanced topics from computing, statistics and mathematics, and a choice of electives from business, finance, health or science.
