RMIT's Bachelor of Data Science will develop skills in data analytics, statistics, computer science, machine learning, programming, mathematics, and data wrangling that will enable you to be central to business decision-making, corporate strategy and government planning. 

You will gain strong problem-solving skills, and learn how to effectively communicate your work to technical and non-technical audiences, work independently or as a team, and factor in relevant standards, ethical and legal considerations to your projects.

Using cutting-edge technologies, you will learn how to analyse and manage large amounts of data from various sources and evaluate their insights and solutions. You will gain hands-on experience using Python and R programming languages. 

Personalise your degree to suit your career aspirations, selecting from a wide range of majors and minors. Major in advanced data science, cyber security or enterprise systems. Specialise in AI, data analysis, cloud computing, mixed reality, software development and blockchain.  

Gain industry experience and connections while you study through work integrated learning experiences. Opportunities include capstone projects, case studies and programming studios.

As part of your studies in the Master of Engineering (Electronic Engineering), you will study subjects that go beyond the theory of recent engineering developments.

Areas of study include:

• Electronic circuit design
• Integrated circuit design and fabrication
• Embedded electronics
• Electronics control systems
• Computer systems electronics
• Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
• Micro/nanoscale device design and fabrication
• Sensors and actuators

This degree also has a focus on developing your technical, personal and business skills. As a result, you will be well equipped for leadership roles in business and industry. Qualified technologists with relevant industrial experience are encouraged to apply.

A Master of Geospatial Science will prepare you for leadership roles in this field, building your understanding of spatial analytics and big spatial data for making critical decisions about our built and natural environment.

You'll gain professional-level expertise in the analysis, management, capture and visualisation of spatial information, and become proficient in the latest technologies and infrastructures to support these skills.
Through this course you will develop a unique breadth of expertise across geospatial science, including:

• Knowledge of fundamental spatial information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial programming, spatial databases, and cloud and mobile geospatial computing.
• Advanced skills in mapping and visualisation for creating engaging and interactive geospatial presentations.
• Knowledge of the latest spatial data capture systems, including satellite remote sensing, GPS satellite positioning, drone and aerial imagery, wearable sensors, sensor networks, and crowdsourced data.
• Specialised knowledge in key areas that complement geospatial science, and tailored to your specific needs, which may include environmental science, natural resource management, computer science, business and project management, architecture and urban planning, mathematics or statistics.
