Master of Business Leadership (Coursework)

Effectively leading (and inspiring) staff is not necessarily a skill that comes naturally to us all. Many leaders would argue that only through tertiary education, on-going professional development, a sound mentor and a constant thirst for knowledge did they acquire the skills and knowledge required to lead. A sound grounding in leadership theory and management practices will provide those wishing to advance their careers within any sector with a range of new and exciting opportunities.

This course has been developed as a response to a global talent gap for people with data science knowledge, as identified and reported by the McKinsey Global Institute study (2011). The study predicted a shortfall by 2018 of nearly 200,000 data scientists and 1.5 million managers with the capability to make decisions using big data in the United States alone. The dramatic growth of data in every conceivable industry, from oceanography to market research, presents another major driving force in generating unprecedented global demand for data science skills.

The course prepares students to participate in a variety of emerging careers with the growth of data science – data griot, data analyst, data artist, data journalist, mobile behaviour analyst, data-driven policy expert, advertising insight and online community manager, to name a few.
