健康数据科学（HDS）是通过理解复杂的现实世界健康问题来生成数据驱动的解决方案的科学技术
ealth Data Science (HDS) is the science and art of generating data-driven solutions through comprehension of complex real-world health problems, employing critical thinking and analytics to derive knowledge from (big) data. HDS is an emergent discipline, arising at the intersection of (bio)statistics, computer science, and health. The Graduate Diploma Health Data Science covers the second part of the HDS pipeline concerned with data analytics, machine learning and data mining, data modelling, and communication including data visualisation. Graduate Certificate in Health Data Science graduates will be well suited to an identified area of workforce demand, in both public and private health sectors. High-achieving graduates will have potential for consideration of further study in MSc in Health Data Science (9372). The program is designed to appeal to both those new to Health Data Science and those already working in the field looking to upskill. The Graduate Diploma is appropriate for both an Australian and international audience. Potential students from any undergraduate background and/ or who possess relevant work experience will be considered for admission.
