Explore your data challenge from a fresh perspective
Innovation Lab (iLab) connects industry partners with emerging data science talent from the Master of Data Science and Innovation to explore open-ended data-based challenges grounded in real organisational context.
Throughout 12 weeks, student teams will investigate your challenge, test methods and models, and explore what your data could reveal. This might involve examining and bringing together different data sources, testing new approaches, or uncovering patterns and opportunities that haven't previously been explored.
Rather than starting with a predetermined solution, iLab aims to create a space for exploration, experimentation and discovery.

Innovation Lab runs twice a year throughout the academic calendar.
Autumn 2027: February - May 2027
