Owing to its ability to provide companies with smarter decision making tools, Advanced Analytics is emerging as ‘the career of choice’ for forward thinking, information technology graduates.
Master of Analytics (Research)
UTS is at the forefront of analytics education in Australia with its focus on practice-based, interdisciplinary analytics and decision-making research. Big data in the internet age is very complex and growing exponentially, posing greater challenges for organisations.
In this course, students can focus on real-world business problems in their own organisations and develop solutions as part of their research. This course enables graduates to extend and deepen their knowledge in a specialised area of analytics by undertaking research under the supervision of a member of academic staff.
The core program is supplemented by short courses, seminars and projects. These courses provide academic rigour while using cutting-edge technologies.
The course offers flexibility in the choice of research topics so that the research is closely aligned with the student's professional requirements. Students can undertake research in analytics to solve the problems that directly impact their organisations: research with a purpose.
Advanced analytics techniques and solutions are increasingly being used by industry to drive productivity, transform business and increase competitiveness. The demand for skilled analytics professsionals with the ability to work in both traditional and emerging industries continues to grow. With high-level analytics skills graduates are able to make a significant contribution to their organisation. Students also benefit from being able to work with world-leading researchers in this area.

Research Training Scheme
The majority of domestic research degree students are funded through the Research Training Scheme (RTS). Through the RTS, the Australian Government provides a quota of tuition fee exempt places for postgraduate research places to recognised universities.
If you are granted an RTS place, you are not required to pay tuition fees. However, you can still expect to pay the ongoing costs of being part of an academic environment and conducting research. In addition to ongoing costs, you may also be required to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
Scholarships
In addition, research scholarships to the value of $35,000 are available to support living expenses for domestic students to study master's by research and doctoral programs at UTS.
Tuition fee calculations
Tuition fees and RTS load for postgraduate research degrees are charged pro-rata based on the number of days a student is enrolled in each research degree semester and whether the student is enrolled after the research census date.
