You'll gain experience with local and international industry partners and be prepared to enter a wide range of careers. You will have the option to engage with university research, undertake an extended fieldwork program in your major or complete an industry placement.
Graduate outcomesWith combined qualifications in science and data science, you'll be equipped with a highly desirable skill set that will allow you to find work in a range of data-focused roles across the scientific sector and beyond.
