The UNSW Data Science Society (DataSoc) is a student society affiliated with the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW. We are Australia’s FIRST Student Data Society!

DataSoc aims to provide data science students, and aspiring data scientists, an inspiring, cohesive and creative environment, where students can learn more about data science practices. DataSoc was set up in early 2017, shortly after the introduction of the Bachelor of Data Science and Decisions at UNSW.

DataSoc's goals:

To become Australia’s leading student run society platform in assisting students on achieving their data science career goals.

  • Career: create and inform members of data science-related opportunities in their studies and careers with course information sessions and career-focused events.
  • Social: enriching the sense of community and diversity among UNSW data science students through various social activities such as BBQs and competitions.
  • Education: supporting data science students in their studies in data science with DataSoc’s help sessions, workshops and peer supporters. 

With this, DataSoc aims to make your university experience even more fun and fulfilling, while maximizing your employment opportunity and career progression in data science.
