Overview

Massey University’s Master of Analytics - Health will equip you with technical ability and competence in devising data-driven solutions. These are the skills needed to transform massive amounts of data into insights that enable better decision making and innovation both in the private and public sectors.

Key facts

Businesses and organisations today collect unprecedented amounts of detailed data. They can use this to become more competitive through greater efficiencies and new product creation. But in practice, the sheer volume of information is often overwhelming.

The Master of Analytics will help you understand all these things, as well as give you training in communicating your findings in a compelling way to a business audience. Your study will cover fundamental data analysis tools, including machine learning, data mining, statistics, and econometrics.

In the last phase of study, you will complete an applied analytics project, where you will address a real-world problem in collaboration with an organisation. We also give you training in communicating your findings in a compelling way to a business audience.

Career

Graduates with analytical skills, and the ability to apply those skills to real-life situations, are in very high demand across all industry sectors. Professional services firms and government agencies also seek specialists in this field.

Sought-after by employers

The skills you will learn in the Master of Analytics meet the growing demand for graduates capable of harvesting, processing, analysing and presenting data in ways that encourage informed and effective organisational decision making. You will learn how to extract useful information from big data, while maintaining data security and privacy.

This will open up to you the increasing number of roles for people who can combine business skills with data analysis and who have excellent communication skills.

International trends are for employers to reward postgraduate study well, especially in larger enterprises. The skills you learn are increasingly recognised as setting you apart from other potential employees.

A skills shortage waiting to be filled

LinkedIn’s 2020 Emerging Jobs Report lists Data Scientist and Artificial Intelligence Specialists as being the top 3 professions for the last 3 years. This trend is likely to continue throughout the changing landscape and disruptions in the job market.

Data scientists are in high demand because they:

innovate new products
drive greater efficiency in profitability in competitive environments
enable management to make better decisions

The skills you learn at Massey University and the qualification you will receive are recognised throughout the world and enable you to work in any industry or government sector.
