90 percent of data in the world today has been created in the last 2 years alone. Some estimate that data production will be 44 times greater in 2020 than it was a few years ago. Others estimate that approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is being generated every day. Global demand for data science and computing expertise exceeds supply, with predictions of a major shortage of analysts for at least the next 10 years. For graduates in Data Science, this presents a high potential employment opportunity.

SP Jain’s Bachelor of Data Science (BDS) is a 3-year course designed to prepare graduates who can conduct data-driven investigations, and conduct visual and advanced analytics by acquiring and managing data of all types. Through this course, graduates will develop an in-depth understanding of data science and the techniques for analysis of quantitative and qualitative data to arrive at solutions. They will be able to identify patterns, predict trends and analyse data from sectors such as manufacturing, banking and finance, retail, and healthcare.

The BDS program is currently offered at our campuses in Mumbai and Sydney. Students can opt to spend the first year in Mumbai, and years 2 and 3 in Sydney, or spend all three years of the program in Sydney.

*Although the BDS is a 3-year program, students joining the January intake can complete the program in 2.5 years by undertaking Semesters 1, 2 and 3 in Year 1.

Develop job skills in one of the most in-demand fields

In an increasingly digital world, Data plays a very important role in driving decisions, innovation, and productivity in large multinationals, non-profits, and governments. It is being used to analyse social media trends to formulate election strategy, evaluate meteorological data to predict the weather or even to analyse retail data to drive more sales.

SP Jain’s new undergraduate program in Data Science enables students to develop a thorough understanding of Data Analysis, rapidly adapt to the changing role of Information Sciences and bring in creative solutions to tackle the challenges that arise in modern business.

There is real value that can be extracted from analysing data and on graduating from this program, you will be able to help organisations:

Develop better strategies, improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and terminate risks
Make information transparent and usable at much higher frequencies
Enable the collection of more accurate and detailed performance information on products and services, and therefore, expose variability and boost performance
Allow finer segmentation of customers and enable customisation of products and services
Help in the development of the next generation of products and services

Gain a practical, real-world understanding of Data Science

From Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Social Web Analytics to Simulation Modelling, Data Mining, and Algorithmic Training – over the course of 3 years, SP Jain’s BDS takes you deep into every aspect of Big Data. Not simply from a theoretical perspective, but also through practical, applied capstone projects and industry internships that help students supplement academic knowledge with real-life industry experience, make meaningful contributions to companies, build strong professional contacts, and explore full-time career opportunities.

GRADUATE WITH 2-YEAR POST STUDY WORK RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIA

Australia has always been an education hub and the addition of Post Study Work Rights (PSWR) for 2 years* has made Australia a more conducive and exciting option for undergraduate and postgraduate study. BDS students, on completion of 2 years of full-time academic study in Sydney, are eligible to live and explore career opportunities in Australia for 2 years.

*Applicable as per the current Post Study Work Visa Rights in Australia. The laws are subject to change.

You study at a leading business school
