About this program

Murdoch University’s Bachelor of Data Analytics teaches students how to collect, interpret, and apply data using technologies and techniques relevant to Australian enterprises and industry. Over three years, students focus on core data analysis methods, statistical computing, and visualisation, alongside foundational topics in IT, mathematics and programming. Assessment is structured through units of study, each carrying credit points that count towards the degree requirements.

Study is organised into semesters, with students gradually building from the basics to advanced analytics and specialised tools. In later years, coursework often includes practical projects and may involve work-integrated learning, such as industry placements or real-world business problems, providing hands-on experience valued by employers. Students usually complete a capstone unit, which draws together knowledge from all areas in a substantial research or applied project, often in partnership with an Australian company or government organisation.

Graduates develop practical skills in data mining, machine learning, big data, and visualisation tools such as Python and R—skills highly sought after across Australia’s growing digital sectors. The course suits individuals interested in technology, business decisions, or research, and who enjoy solving problems with evidence and quantitative reasoning. Assessment is a mix of assignments, practical projects, exams, and group work, reflecting the teamwork and technical skills needed in the workplace.

Murdoch supports its international students with English language preparation options, and Perth offers a liveable city setting with links to technology and business hubs. Students on a Student visa can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and upon completing this AQF level 7 qualification, may become eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). For latest details on entry requirements and course structure, always refer to the university’s official website.
