在许多组织中，数据是必不可少的资产，因为它可以在许多领域做出明智的决策，包括市场情报和科学。在数据科学专业中，您将学习源自统计和计算机科学的计算和分析技能，以管理，解释，理解，分析和从数据中获取关键知识。您将对数据及其使用方法进行批判性思考，对所需的核心技术技能有深入的了解，并对数据收集的背景有所了解。在高级研究水平以及更高水平的学习中，您将具备以下能力：理解许多学科的问题并将数据驱动的问题放入分析框架中，通过计算手段解决问题，解释结果并将其传达给客户或合作者。
A Bachelor of Science opens up a world of opportunity. Whether you dream of joining the forefront of research, learning how to analyse and think critically or making the planet a better place, a Bachelor of Science will give you highly sought-after skills for a huge range of careers. At Sydney you will be taught by dedicated scientific thinkers, including members of the Australian Academy of Science, Australian Research Council Fellows and prestigious prize winners. You will study in world-class facilities, including the multimillion-dollar Sydney Nanoscience Hub and the Charles Perkins Centre, with its focus on diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.<br><br>Data is an essential asset in many organisations as it enables informed decision making into many areas including market intelligence and science. In the major in Data Science, you will learn computational and analytical skill sets that stem from statistics and computer science, to manage, interpret, understand, analyse and derive key knowledge from the data. You will develop critical thinking about data and its use, a deep understanding of the core technical skills required and an appreciation for the context in which that data was collected. At the senior levels of study level and beyond, you will develop the ability to understand problems from many disciplines and place a data-driven problem into an analytical framework, solve the problem through computational means, interpret the results and communicate them to clients or collaborators.
