Data analytics curriculum

Two students sitting at a table, engrossed in their books and taking notes.

Over the course of the past decade, the explosion of data has transformed nearly every industry known to man. Whether it’s in marketing, healthcare, government, or activism—the ability to translate data into insights has quickly become a highly valued skill by all. When it comes to data analytics, it’s important to achieve mastery in the application of concepts because companies care about what you can do, not just what you know. The Monash University Data Analytics Boot Camp curriculum teaches you how to use what you’ve learned in solving real-world data projects.
