As a current student of PGP-DSBA or PGP-AIML, am I eligible to apply for the Master of Data Science (Global) program?

Current learners of PGP-DSBA or PGP-AIML should first complete their respective programs before commencing the masters degree. Although, you can start your application for the Master of Data Science (Global) program in advance to secure your seat in a cohort of your choice. Since there is a limited number of seats for every cohort, we recommend you apply in advance to secure your seat in the cohort starting right after your graduation from PGP-DSBA or PGP-AIML.

What advantages do I gain by pursuing the Master of Data Science (Global) program after completing PGP-DSBA or PGP-AIML?

You gain the following advantages by pursuing the 12-month Master of Data Science (Global) program:
  • Earn an internationally-recognised masters degree from Deakin University

  • Live virtual classes delivered by experts and Deakin faculty
  • Gain alumni status from Deakin University and access the same alumni privileges and benefits as full-time students
  • Gain practical skills through project-based learning

Is this masters degree equivalent to a full-time masters degree taken on campus?

While in terms of curriculum design, degree, and access to university resources, this online masters degree is the same as an on-campus program, the key difference comes in how the curriculum is delivered. Classroom-based learning relies on more in-person interactions where students attend lectures in a classroom, interact with faculty over office hours, have study sessions with TAs, etc. In an online program, all this interaction shifts so that it happens over the internet. Thus, an online program offers more convenience, flexibility, and safety (by providing social distancing) compared to a classroom program.
The online masters degree programs are much more affordable compared to on-campus programs, and the student also saves on housing and the opportunity cost of not working for a year.

Do I need a GRE/GMAT score to apply to this masters program?

No GRE/GMAT score is required to apply to the masters program. The only eligibility criteria for admission are:
  • Applicants must meet Deakin’s minimum English Language requirement.
  • Candidates should have a bachelor's degree (minimum 3-year degree program) in a related discipline OR a bachelor's degree in any discipline with at least 2 years of work experience.
  • Candidates should have successfully completed either PGP-DSBA or PGP-AIML
