About this program

The Master of Learning Analytics (Research) at the University of Technology Sydney is designed for those seeking to drive innovation in educational data analytics. This two-year master's degree explores advanced topics in mathematics, data analysis, educational psychology, and technology-enhanced learning, focusing on how analytics can be leveraged to improve teaching and learning outcomes in educational settings. Students will be exposed to methodologies for collecting and interpreting data from digital learning environments, using statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualisation techniques.

The course is structured using the Australian postgraduate model, comprising units of study that amount to a specified number of credit points, as published by UTS. The degree places a strong emphasis on research, and a significant component involves the completion of an original thesis or capstone research project. Students have the opportunity to engage with UTS’s academic and industry partners, enhancing their understanding of analytics in real-world educational environments.

Throughout the programme, students develop expertise in both the technical and pedagogical aspects of learning analytics. Skills gained include advanced data interpretation, critical thinking, ethical considerations in educational data use, and the ability to translate complex analysis into actionable educational strategies. The course is particularly suited to educators, data scientists, instructional designers, and professionals aspiring to leadership roles in educational technology and analytics.

Students benefit from UTS’s strong industry and research connections within Australia’s vibrant EdTech sector. Work-integrated learning opportunities and collaborative projects are available where relevant. The course is suitable for both domestic and international students—international graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-completion, and students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies.
