Data is a vital asset prized by virtually every organisation worldwide, which is why skilled data scientists are in high and rising demand. Data science is one of the fastest growing – and best paid – professions. Deloitte Access Economics research indicates a data scientist with a postgraduate degree in Australia can expect toearn over $130,000 a year. Streams of data have grown so much in volume and complexity that only specialists can extract the greatest value from them in the modern workplace.
