Application for Master of Professional Studies
Application for University of Auckland – Master of Professional Studies (MProfStuds) - Data Science.
Since the day I graduated from my college, I always thought that with time, while attaining some professional experience, I would unveil the subject I want to be prowess. Now when I am sitting on a professional experience of more than 2 years, I realised I am somehow always working on the quantitative data in order to come out with a qualitative research. With a moderate amount of knowledge attained in data management in my academics, I embarked upon the journey of my professional career, which up until now made me a realization that I have sparked the interest in myself for working on the data. And, gradually with my working experience, I have honed my statistical and basic programming skills in analytical tools (like SAS, SPSS and MS excel) with the virtue of being working on such job profiles, where it is an expectation to use these skills in order to deliver the business. I want to further strengthen my ability to glean business-shaping insights out of data, by acquiring in-depth technical knowledge and improving understanding of business data models. This will prepare me for business leadership positions in industries where data analysis is a key driver.
With the ever growing volume of structured and unstructured data available nowadays, I quickly realized my limitations in capturing insight using software applications and technology. I believe the Data Analysis Certificate program will help add the necessary tools to my toolbox, especially in areas of data mining, Statistical Modelling and survey sampling and I think it would also help me to build on my SAS knowledge. More importantly, the University of Auckland's cohort-based learning experience combined with the programs focus on project management will provide an avenue to share my experiences with fellow classmates and expand on my professional network. I am confident the program will help me
