The Graduate Certificate in Big Data and Digital Health (GC-HLTDAT) is designed for graduates from a broad range of disciplines who wish to take a leading role in the emerging field of data analytics. It is also ideal for existing health care workers who wish to extend their skills to include generating actionable knowledge from big data. The course includes a foundational unit of biostatistics and an introductory course regarding how big data is generated, communicated and governed in the health setting. Students then undertake an advanced unit in machine learning techniques for decision making using big data, and undertake one option. Although the focus is on applications of big data in health, the skills and knowledge gained will directly translate to those needed across many industries in which big data has become crucial to strategic decision making.
