Unit of study	Credit points	A: Assumed knowledge P: Prerequisites C: Corequisites N: Prohibition
Students complete 18 credit points from the following:
DATA2001 Data Science, Big Data and Data Variety	6	P DATA1002 OR DATA1902 OR INFO1110 OR INFO1910 OR INFO1903 OR INFO1103 or ENGG1810 N DATA2901
DATA2901 Big Data and Data Diversity (Advanced)	6	P 75% or above from (DATA1002 or DATA1902 or INFO1110 or INFO1910 or INFO1903 or INFO1103 or ENGG1810) N DATA2001
DATA2002 Data Analytics: Learning from Data	6	A Successful completion of a first-year or second-year unit in statistics or data science including a substantial coding component. The content from STAT2X11 will help but is not considered essential. Students who are not comfortable using the R software for statistical analysis should familiarise themselves before attempting the unit, e.g. taking OLET1632: Shark Bites and Other Data Stories P DATA1X01 or ENVX1002 or BUSS1020 or ECMT1010 or [(MATH1062 or MATH1962 or MATH1972) and (STAT2011 or STAT2911)] or [MATH1X05 and (MATH1001 or MATH1002 or MATH1003 or MATH1004 or MATH1021 or MATH1023 or MATH1115 or MATH19XX)] N STAT2012 or STAT2912 or DATA2902
DATA2902 Data Analytics: Learning from Data (Adv)	6	A Successful completion of a first-year or second-year unit in statistics or data science including a substantial coding component. The content from STAT2X11 will help but is not considered essential. Students who are not comfortable using the R software for statistical analysis should familiarise themselves before attempting the unit, e.g. taking OLET1632: Shark Bites and Other Data Stories P A mark of 65 or above in (DATA1X01 or ENVX1002 or BUSS1020 or ECMT1010 or [(MATH1062 or MATH1962 or MATH1972) and (STAT2011 or STAT2911)] or [MATH1X05 and (MATH1001 or MATH1002 or MATH1003 or MATH1004 or MATH1021 or MATH1023 or MATH1115 or MATH19XX)]) N STAT2012 or STAT2912 or DATA2002

DATA3404 Scalable Data Management	6	A This unit of study assumes that students have previous knowledge of database structures and of SQL. The prerequisite material is covered in DATA2001 or ISYS2120. Familiarity with a programming language (e.g. Java or C) is also expected P DATA2001 OR DATA2901 OR ISYS2120 OR INFO2120 OR INFO2820 N INFO3504 OR INFO3404
