The University of Auckland

If you have a mind for science and you’re keen to keep your options open, then the BSc is the degree for you. With many undergraduate majors in a wide range of subject areas, the BSc will allow you to incorporate different areas of interest and expertise. As well as strongly emphasising transferable skills to improve your employment opportunities, this programme will expose you to cutting-edge technologies and provide a gateway to independent research. Throughout your undergraduate degree you’ll be taught by knowledgeable scientists, many of whom are major contributors in their field. You're able to choose from a wide range of subject areas, and you'll also add a capstone course to your programme. The capstone course is student-led, and it's your opportunity to integrate and apply your learning to a real-world problem in your chosen subject area.Data Science is a rapidly growing field. Our graduates have the right foundation to manage and analyse big data, driving innovation in organisations across all industries. The last decade has seen an explosion in the amount of data available. It has evolved into the most important asset for many companies and people. Big data is ubiquitous, but to extract information, individuals require the ability to both manage and analyse the data. This ability to turn data into information, knowledge and innovative products often separates success from failure.
