When you study the data you discover more than meets the eye. Data Analytics is the bridge between technology, data science and strategy.
Ever wondered how your phone knows which ads to show you at lunchtime? Or how the supermarket emails you with specials on your favourite products? It’s not a coincidence. It’s the work of data analytics encouraging you to buy more.

The Master of Data Analytics is a new course. The Master of Data Analytics is fully accredited by the Australian Computer Society for 2021-2022.
Data Analytics is a rapidly emerging field that is in high demand across all sectors. The accreditation process has been accelerated to accommodate this demand.
MIT has a proud history of providing quality assured and accredited qualifications in Information Technology and has been a leader in creating flexible courses that adapt to new technologies as they emerge.
The Master of Data Analytics requires 9 core units and three electives from the IoT Data Analytics or Cloud Networks. A full time study load is 60 credit points per trimester.
Successful completion of the course requires 240 credit points, made up of 12 units of 20 credit points.
Students with gaps in their undergraduate studies will be required to undertake MN404 and MN405 to ensure they meet the foundational knowledge for core units.
Students admitted into the cognate stream based on prior qualifications but wish to enrol in the non-cognate stream may transfer to the non-cognate stream with the written permission of the Course Coordinator.
Data analysts are more than just the numbers people - they’re at the forefront of business strategy and decision making. Employers are demanding graduates who are innovative thinkers, who can work collaboratively and can problem solve to create cost effective business solutions.
That’s why we focus on meaningful group learning and building industry connections for all students in our industry projects.

Data Analytics is the process of analysing data, extracting insights and information on trends, finding answers to questions and insights. Data analysts create systems that gather relevant data, analyse the data and manage the data through collection, storage and retrieval.
Networking establishes the system and infrastructure, data analytics takes the data and information that the networks generate and turns it into a story. Data Analytics requires different skills in analysis and strategy from the data.
Data analysts take control of business data and make sense of it, so it can translate into strategies to drive a business forward.
They use the latest technology in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, Big Data Analytics, Visualisation, Smart Sensors and Cloud Computing to improve the way we do business.
According to Job Outlook, the salary for data analysts is higher than average. Salaries ranging from $75000 to $100000 + for highly skilled analysts. Skilled data analysts are in high demand, and the industry is expected to grow rapidly.
