Big Data Capstone Project

Overview

Key Facts

The Big Data Capstone Project will allow you to apply the techniques and theory you have gained from the four courses in this Big Data MicroMasters Program from University of Adelaide - AdelaideX to a medium-scale data science project.

Working with organisations and stakeholders of your choice on a real-world dataset, you will further develop your data science skills and knowledge.

This project will give you the opportunity to deepen your learning by giving you valuable experience in evaluating, selecting and applying relevant data science techniques, principles and theory to a data science problem.

This project will see you plan and execute a reasonably substantial project and demonstrate autonomy, initiative and accountability.

You’ll need to reflect on the nature of your data and identify any social and ethical concerns and identify appropriate ethical frameworks for data management.

By communicating the knowledge, skills and ideas you have gained to other learners through online collaborative technologies, you will learn valuable communication skills, important for any career. You’ll also deliver a written oral presentation of your project design, plan, methodologies, and outcomes.

The Big Data Capstone Project is part of the Big Data MicroMasters Program.
