Master of Data Analytics - Biomedical Data Science

Queensland University of Technology

Be future-focused and stay ahead of the curve. Drive real change and impact key decisions by learning how to make sense of the volume, variety, and velocity of data we collect as a society.Our academics are world leaders in research and have strong industry ties that ensures the relevance of teaching material and high-quality learning experiences for students. This course will prepare you for a future-focused career in the fast-paced, ever-changing world of data analytics. With a collaborative curriculum across disciplines, you’ll not only learn theories and methods, but you’ll apply that knowledge to predict, forecast, visualise and make decisions in a range of applied areas.You will study specialist units in advanced statistical data analysis, data mining techniques and applications, data manipulation, analytics for information professionals and advanced stochastic modelling. Biology and medicine are becoming increasingly data-intensive in research and clinical practice. From new sequencing technologies to medical imaging and electronic health records, to wearable devices recording heart rate, it has never been easier or cheaper to generate biomedical data.Yet these datasets may be large and complex, and the observations noisy. This interdisciplinary major provides the skills you need to 'wrangle' and analyse biomedical data. You will learn statistical and machine learning methods, and use them to identify relationships and gain insight into function and disease states, while gaining some understanding of their limitations and the complexity of the problems which arise.
