Western’s Master of Data Analytics (MDA) program is a one-year professional science master’s program beginning each September, consisting of two terms of on-campus courses (fall and winter) followed by a summer Experiential Learning term, which in most cases involves students securing a paid experience working in industry. The MDA program provides students with the skills needed to be proficient in technical data analytics and apply those skills in a specific field, or as a generalist practitioner. The experiential learning term helps ensure that students are ready to transition into a data analytics career in the public or private sector by providing valuable, practical experience applying those skills.

Currently, the MDA program offers the following three specialty fields for students to choose from when applying to the program: Artificial Intelligence, Finance, Banking, and Insurance Generalist. Students with a significant background in a data analytics-related field, such as Statistics or Computer Science, will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in that discipline while broadening their level of expertise in the other. For students who don’t have a degree in Computer Science or Statistics but have a strong quantitative and computational background, the curriculum will allow them to rapidly develop a fundamental skill set in technical data analytics related to these areas.

What You’ll Learn

  • Develop strong, foundational, technical data analytic skills from statistics and computer science, learning state-of-the-art data analytics software and methods.
  • Learn about a specific field where data analytics is used and see practical applications of data analytics to solve problems in that area.
  • Be able to effectively communicate data analytics techniques and discoveries to both technical and non-technical audiences, and develop ethical judgement when conducting or assessing analyses.
  • Have a competitive advantage when securing an employment opportunity to meet the experiential learning requirements of the program.

I completed my BSc in Environmental Science at Western University in 2022. I enjoyed the program, as it provided a lot of flexibility to tailor my degree to my interests. While the large student and faculty body could be overwhelming, I was able to connect with multiple professors to conduct research in my undergraduate program. The broad range of research programs at Western allowed me to seek out opportunities that fit my professional goals and interests.

I also participated in the Western Science Internship Program, in which I conducted two 8-month placements. The internship team at Western were very helpful in finding positions and developing resume/cover letter/interview skills.
