The difference between Analytics, Applied Data Science and Managerial Analytics?

The Master of Analytics will equip you with the tools and advanced skills to identify problems and provide innovative solutions within businesses using data analytics. This course is perfect if you don’t have any formal IT experience, as it provides foundational knowledge.

The Master of Applied Data Science will give you the technical skills needed to wrangle data and analyse it. You’ll need previous knowledge – academic or work experience – within the IT and/or science or math fields.

The Master of Managerial Analytics is designed for current and aspiring managers who want to harness the power of data to make informed decisions and lead with insight. Rather than focusing on technical analysis, you’ll interpret data to communicate its story and drive strategic outcomes.
