Established in 1998, Monash University Malaysia is the third largest campus of Australia's largest university and the first foreign university campus in Malaysia. Students are taught by highly qualified academic staff from across the world and the same rigorous standards are applied at the campus as at other Monash campuses. As a globally-connected university, Monash University has 140 partner universities around the world, and campuses on four continents – Australia, Asia, and Europe. Students can take advantage of international mobility schemes as part of their course.

The campus is committed to making a positive impact on society and improving the human condition.

To this end, Monash have established several multidisciplinary research platforms that enable scientists in the region to work on global challenges in the following key areas: Tropical Medicine and Biology; Advanced Engineering; Global Asia in the 21st Century (GA21); Monash-Industry Palm Oil Education and Research; and a multidisciplinary health and demographic surveillance site, the South East Asian Community Observatory (SEACO).

This is the era of big data and artificial intelligence. Data science represents a cutting-edge discipline which applies scientific methods, mathematics, algorithms and artificial intelligence to extract and visualise intelligent insights from huge volumes of data. In the fast-progressing world of the Information Age, these insights have the potential to fuel innovation and transform decision making. Data scientists deal with the challenges of big data – its interpretation, management and use – in fields as diverse as marketing, information systems, engineering, finance, arts, humanities, science and medicine.

Monash brings a breadth of expertise to bear on issues relating to big data. If you aspire to solve real-world problems based on the information challenges of big data, then specialising in data science will equip you with the practical skills to excel in your chosen career.
