About this program

The Master of Analytics (Research) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a rigorous two-year postgraduate programme designed for students seeking advanced expertise in analytics and its application to real-world problem-solving. This research-intensive degree equips you with the ability to develop innovative data-driven solutions, leveraging statistical analysis, data mining, predictive modelling, and machine learning techniques. The course is structured around independent research, culminating in a substantial thesis project that contributes new insights to the field of analytics.

Australian master's degrees by research, such as this, typically require completion of a series of advanced research training units (measured in credit points) and a major research thesis. At UTS, you will gain experience in formulating research questions, conducting ethical data analysis, and communicating findings—skills highly relevant to Australia’s data-driven industries. The emphasis on research offers strong industry engagement opportunities, allowing you to tackle complex challenges in partnership with Australian businesses or government agencies.

The programme is suited to professionals and graduates in information technology, computing, mathematics, or related disciplines who want to specialise in analytics and make a significant contribution to research and development. Developing critical thinking, research methodology, and advanced analytics skills prepares you to address industry, academic, or policy challenges both in Australia and internationally. Work-integrated learning can be part of your research pathway, particularly through industry-linked projects.

International students benefit from Australia's setting, with 48 hours per fortnight of work rights during session and eligibility to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.
