The Data Science Postgraduate Project provides students in the Masters of Data Science program with work integrated learning (WIL) with industry and non-profit organisations. They conduct data science focused projects via (remote) placements with their host organisations. The students are typically in their final year of a 2 year Masters program, and would have completed courses and subjects in data preprocessing and analysis, data visualisation, machine learning and data mining, cloud computing and data science pipelines. The students may also either studied and have prior backgrounds in social media analysis, text processing, deep learning, forecasting and other data science/data analysis fields. The students will be placed with a host organisation over a 12-14 week period, work with the host closely from requirements refinement (from initial agreed requirements with the coordinator), approach planning, executing the plan, perform analysis and reporting and passing on deliverables.
