Summary

According to the latest estimates, nearly 330 million terabytes of data is created each day. And over the next few years, global data creation is projected to grow to more than 180 zettabytes. Those with expert knowledge and skills that go beyond number-crunching - those who can create actionable insights based on evidence and effectively turn data into knowledge - will find themselves sought after across a diverse range of industries.

The Master of Applied Statistics - recently redesigned with industry partners to better reflect employability outcomes - is the only degree of its kind in Sydney. While other postgraduate statistic degrees are largely theoretical, this degree is fully applied, meaning you'll not only learn how to obtain data, but also clean and analyse it, and then communicate your recommendations to those from both technical and non-technical backgrounds. You'll also have the opportunity to augment your classroom learning by completing an independent research project that's unique to this degree.
