What are the entry requirements?

This is an advanced data science programme, therefore there are a few prerequisites before the learner can enrol, these include:

  • an undergraduate degree that features at least one unit of quantitative studies (such as mathematics, statistics, accounting or finance)
  • at least 1 year of work experience in a field broadly related to data or business analytics
  • an IELTS certificate with an overall band score of 7.0 with no less than 7.0 in speaking, listening, and writing, and 6.5 in reading – if English is not your first language
  • Foundational technical skills, which include:
    • the ability to interpret data and analytic output and draw conclusions that help to inform data-driven decision-making
    • basic Python programming skills (if you don't have these skills yet, don't worry, we have a few free courses to get you prepared)
    • practical experience in accessing, manipulating, querying, and analysing data using a range of software and tools, including Python for data analysis (e.g. NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn), Python for data visualisation (e.g. matplotlib, seaborn) and SQL
    • knowledge and application of statistical principles for descriptive analysis.

In some cases, we can be flexible with certain requirements. For example, if you lack an undergraduate degree we may still be able to accept your application if you are able to demonstrate equivalent professional experience.

If you are unsure whether you meet the requirements, please speak to one of our enrolment advisors.
