Study further:

That means that by getting a Master’s in Data Science I will quite literally doubling my job
options in the field. Pursuing a master degree in data science is a wise career choice for me
looking to gain a wide breadth of skills in various tech-related areas. Typical data science
program coursework features core classes in topics like applied statistics and hones in on lessons
in programming skills such as SQL and Python as well. Master’s in data science programs may
help me for job opportunities in a wide variety of fields and sectors – from data architecture to
computer engineering and programming. Postgraduate studies can help me progress my career
or explore new career paths. I will acquire specialist knowledge in my field and transferable skills
and experience such as project management and leadership. . The number of occupations that
typically require a master’s degree will increase by nearly 20% between 2006 and 2016. Master’s
degree programs are increasingly becoming professionalized, with a new focus on preparing
graduates for careers in business, government, and non-profit settings. Master’s degree
programs combine discipline-specific, advanced coursework with skills like critical thinking,
analytic ability, and time management that are easily transferred if my career path changes.
There are countless graduate degree holders who have gone on to accomplish great things and
who are afforded the respect and recognition they deserve and have earned. Unquestionably an
advanced degree makes a difference on a résumé. It says something about who I am and the
dedication I have to my chosen field. With a postgraduate degree my chances are even better An
analysis by job search platform Joblift found that half of all data science job listings require
applicants to have a postgraduate qualification. This will leave me better placed to take
advantage of career opportunities when they arise.

Study abroad:

There are many personal benefits of studying abroad and ways to grow both professionally and
personally. In fact, choosing to study abroad can be one of the most enriching, fulfilling,
interesting and educationally stimulating experiences of my entire life. By studying abroad I learn
new skills and have a better ability to adapt in rapidly-changing work environments and to
respond to people of diverse cultural backgrounds both of which lead to better workplace
performance. Studying internationally offers a wider variety of courses some also including
research options and skill-based training for me. This helps expand my horizons and opens up a
world of new educational opportunities. Pursuing a degree overseas signals employers that you
have courage, flexibility, cultural awareness and an understanding of how other people work and
think. Entry is very difficult to a good institute even if one has good marks, due to competition
and nepotism. The system is examination oriented and every thing is based on final examination.
The horizons remain limited and the focus is to please the teachers. Study is not oriented to real
life and very theory based.

About Australia:

Deciding to study abroad is a big decision. Beyond leaving my friends and family behind I may
also be challenged by thoughts of what and where I will study. Top universities, incredible
nature, vibrant cities, and several oceans are just some of the reasons why many international
students choose Australia to study.

Australia is counted as one of the most preferred education destinations abroad.

It’s a case of quality as well as quantity with six Australian universities ranking in the
internationally renowned top 100.

Some Australian universities may offer internships or work opportunities to their students.

Australian universities are located in both rural and urban settings. Wherever I choose to study I
will be able to travel to a number of neighbouring cities with ease.

For a country with a relatively small number of universities Australia offers a truly world-class
education and regularly features in global rankings.

Australian universities are strong in research excelling in area such as arts and humanities,
education and sciences.

International students can work up to 40 hours per fortnight in Australia, which will help me pay
for things like nights out with friends or short trips over holiday breaks.

Australia has the highest minimum salaries in the world. The minimum hourly rate is now $17.70
per hour. This means that even when doing a casual, unskilled job I will earn quite good money.

It’s also very easy to find a job so that I can make ends meet while I am studying. In the urban
areas I may be able to find internships and apprenticeships that are related to the field that I am
studying.

The approach of the Australian Universities to technical and vocational education is being
recognised as one of the best in the world.

The top universities in Australia have the reputation of being able to adopt new technologies in
the world faster than other country.

The qualification in Australia is recognised globally so students do not face any hassles getting
into the job front.

Another reason to consider going to Australia as an international student is because there is a lot
of scholarship money available for me. Study in Australia scholarships makes it easier for the
students to choose it as their destination for further studies and as the students and their
parents are given a service which is unparallel, besides the financial protection.

Another important point that adds in Australia’s attractiveness is the fact that compared to the
other popular study destination comes at a cheaper price tag. While most study destination
country’s reputation lies in their higher cost, Australia contains an exemption from this rule. Both
tuition fees and living expenses are at a certain degree more affordable than countries like in the
UK, for example. The cost of living here is more suitable as compared to other places due to the
conversion rates. Keeping this factor in mind, we also have the visa formalities for Australia more
easy and convenient; obviously it becomes a preferred choice.

to find innovative solutions to real problems in science, business and government, from
technology start-ups to global organisations. The Master of Data Science is one of the few
programs in the world to combine a cross-disciplinary education with direct industry contact and
practical experience in the exciting field of data science. Data has been called “the oil of the
digital economy” (Wired) because of its immense potential; I could say it would fuel our future.
Data science is the study and application of large data analysis, mining and programming to
reveal insights that can be used to communicate, capture and maintain intelligence for
businesses and organizations. The primary purpose of data science is to create and leverage
various forms of data in order to better understand trends and phenomena.

Career outcome:

The Master of Data Science will provide the knowledge, skills and experience to equip the
graduate to operate independently as a data scientist within any application domain. Data
scientists are in high demand and employers don’t find enough graduates to fill their openings.
Data scientists work across sectors such as business, health, biology, logistics, information
technology and more, to interpret big data and identify innovative opportunities. The training it
provides also supports several career paths by honing data skills at the frontier of machine
intelligence research to become a data scientist for hire up-skilling to build intelligent data-
driven systems in an existing area of expertise (e.g., mining analyst); improving scientific
research through training in data management, analysis, and modelling. In a world where every
type of job involves working with data (of any kind) almost everybody needs a skilled data
scientist to filter the red flags, interpret data, and find solutions. A data scientist is like an analyst
who can predict and calculate the potential results of the business by looking at streams of data.

There are some job sector and which job I can do are given below:

Statistician

Work for: national governments, local authorities, consulting and reporting companies, market
research companies and research institutes.

As a statistician, I will have to extract various data from data bases through various statistical
methods and tests. I will also have to make sure of the quality and the validity of the final
conclusions after all the data has been gathered.

2. Business intelligence reporting professional

Work for: tech companies, financial companies, consulting and reporting companies.

As business intelligence specialist I can do market research or generate various reports from
structured data. BI specialists will use SQL, machine language and statistical tools to comprise
reports and analysis and send all this data to management.

3. Data Analyst

Work for telecommunications companies, finance companies, manufacturing companies,

construction and utility companies and other large companies.

As data analysts I will be responsible for keeping track of various factors and also create visual
graphics. For instance, I will extract data related to shopping trends taking into consideration if
shopping behaviour depends on seasons, gender, demographics, etc.

4. Data Mining or Big Data Engineer

Work for: tech companies, entertainment companies, retail and trade companies.

I will collect and analyse big loads of data sometimes from unstructured information and I will
also be responsible for building and maintaining the software infrastructure. I will use various
programming or scripting languages to develop and initiate big data solutions.

5. Program/Project Manager

Work for: any company.

My job will be to influence business decisions after using and evaluating the data and insights
provided by the main operational departments of a company. I will deal with planning, making
sure the work meets required standards and according to the established budget. In some
companies project managers also require knowledge of statistics.

Visa obligation:

In addition to the above, I will have to follow certain conditions set by the respective country or
government and in Australia it is known as Visa conditions 500 . The major points of visa
conditions 500 are mentioned below:

- I should have sufficient fund to support my study and stay in Australia.

- I should have adequate arrangements for health insurance during my stay in Australia.

- I must remain enrolled in a registered course

- I must say my education provider –

·0 The address where I live in Australia within seven days of arriving in Australia
 ·1 If I change the address where I live within seven days of the change.

·2 If I change education provider within seven days of receiving the electronic confirmation
of enrolment certificate or evidence of enrolment.

·3 I cannot work more than 40 hours per fortnight when my course in session. But I can
work more than set hours during recognized vacation period offered by my university. I
can’t start my work until my course start in Australia.

Reason to return:

All I need to do is step into the fast-emerging field of data sciences and my future is secured. Be
it retail, manufacturing or healthcare, the demand for data analytics and scientists has never
seen such a rise before in India. The number of jobs available increased to 42% from 2014 to
2015, 52% from 2015 to 2016 and has almost doubled from 2016 to 2017. Right now, there are
close to 50,000 data science jobs available in India. I will easily get job here in India as compare
to Australia because of international degree and and only few students complete master in this
field as jobs are increasing in this area day by day I will get good post in Data Science and also
earn lot of money in this job. Last but not the least I want to live with my parents and take care
of them in their old age so I will return home after complition of my aster as my main intention is
get australian degree.
