Big data and analytics impact every organisation, from technology start-ups to multinational companies. A Master of Data Analytics (MDA) at MIT will teach you the skills to analyse massive amounts of structured and unstructured data, to provide insights and to use the data to innovate and create disruptive business solutions.

The MDA course is designed to encompass two streams, one for cognate and another for non-cognate students. Cognate students are those that have an Australian Bachelor degree or equivalent in an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) discipline such as Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology and Software Engineering. For the non-cognate stream, students must have an Australian Bachelor degree or equivalent in a non-ICT discipline. Because we have existing units that provide foundational ICT knowledge for our non-cognate students, we can accept a broader scope of students into our programs. For entry you need to have: Successful completion of Australian Bachelor degree or equivalent. For the cognate stream: An Australian bachelor degree or equivalent in Information Technology or a related discipline such as computer science, software engineering, computer engineering or networking. For the non-cognate stream: An Australian bachelor degree or equivalent in any other discipline.
