UTS is at the forefront of analytics education in Australia with its focus on practice-based, interdisciplinary analytics and decision-making research. Big data in the internet age is very complex and growing exponentially, posing greater challenges for organisations. In this course, students can focus on real-world business problems in their own organisations and develop solutions as part of their research. This course enables graduates to extend and deepen their knowledge in a specialised area of analytics by undertaking research under the supervision of a member of academic staff. The core program is supplemented by short courses, seminars and projects. These courses provide academic rigour while using cutting-edge technologies. The course offers flexibility in the choice of research topics so that the research is closely aligned with the student's professional requirements. Students can undertake research in analytics to solve the problems that directly impact their organisations: research with a purpose. Advanced analytics techniques and solutions are increasingly being used by industry to drive productivity, transform business and increase competitiveness. The demand for skilled analytics professionals with the ability to work in both traditional and emerging industries continues to grow. With high-level analytics skills graduates are able to make a significant contribution to their organisation. Students also benefit from being able to work with world-leading researchers in this area.

The Master of Research degree comprises research and research training, requiring students to complete 96 credit points of subjects.
