About this programme

This two-year, 240-credit-point masters develops an advanced understanding of data science, teaching students to incorporate and interpret complex information, concepts and theories and to use data science tools and methods to manage, process and analyse data. A full-time load is 120 credit points a year, usually four 15-credit units per semester. The course is also available as graduate certificate and graduate diploma exit or entry options for both domestic and international students. What the fee covers: an international full fee-paying place — the 2026 indicative full-time fee for 1 EFTSL (120 credit points). Fee year: 2026. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 6.0 (or equivalent). Before you budget: the page's International tab states 'International full fee-paying place — 2026 indicative full-time fee: $41,400'. The page lists a 16 November 2026 intake as well as 1 March 2027, and the November one matters because it falls inside the 2026 fee year. For a 2027 start, Federation states that fees are reviewed annually and the 2027 rate is not published on the page, so treat AUD 41,400 as a floor rather than the price. The fee is described as indicative and based on a typical first-year enrolment. Two years at the 2026 rate is about AUD 82,800 in tuition.
