Everybody wants to make an intelligent
decision based on facts
it's very exciting because
never has humanity
collected so much data
Our lives are being transformed
by all sorts of data
and that's what data science is about
it's this sudden capacity to have access
to a huge amount of data that's already
out there that people are already sharing
and start to do innovative things
to answer questions we've always had
but we've got a new way of getting information
this will only become more important in the future
So Data Science will use computer software
data management techniques
and visualization
to create a message about
what the data means interpreted data
use the computer to track and it and the
spot in which the data becomes
significantly meaningful
Here at Griffith you have the opportunity to
study data science alongside
The Bachelor of Science or
The Bachelor of Environment
It's not only about the programming
and the analytics
and the algorithms
but also an area of application
Data Science isn't just about numbers
it's also using more of an artistic approach
to how you perceive the data
those patterns can really open doors
for what we can actually achieve with the data that's given
It can be applied to epidemics
emergencies in public health
in the field of medicine
or business,
the field of urban planning
Our current data output is roughly
2.5 Quintilian bytes a day
and we live in a digital world
with an ever increasing
number of electronic devices
there is more technologies
to collect data
than we are able to produce data scientists
every industry today needs a
graduate in data science
