About Us

Uniting mathematicians, econometricians and computer scientists, UNSW DataSoc seeks to empower our members with knowledge and skills of data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Our Goals

• DataSoc aims to become Australia’s leading student run society platform in assisting students on achieving their data science career goals.
  
  
• We strive to create the data science related opportunities for students in their studies and careers alike. We host information sessions, networking evenings, and many more career-focused events that could help open new pathways for students.
  
  
• We aim to enrich students' lives with a sense of community and diversity among UNSW data science students. We host a list of various social activities such as BBQs, competitions, etc. that welcome everyone to attend and meet like minded people.
  
  
• We want to support data science students in their studies with DataSoc’s help sessions, workshops and peer supporters.
  
  

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

Our Values

Our successes to date could not have be achieved without our thriving subcommittee teams year after year. Here are our core values that persists amongst all portfolios.

• Learn continuously and effectively

  We seek to provide innovative and meaningful experiences for students, adapting to change and committing to ongoing development. We highly encourage you to actively seek ways to improve and find new ways to solve problems.
  
  

• Have a good time

  At DataSoc, it is important to us that every experience here is a constructive and positive one. After every event and every meeting, we want you all to be leaving with a smile and a new friend!
  
  

• Be the best at what you do

  What distinguishes DataSoc members from others, despite having all different areas and expertise? It's the passion that we bring to everything we do. We approach every task with confidence, seize all opportunities and never settle for "acceptable".
  
  

• Take ownership and be transparent

  As the DataSoc team, we celebrate the individual work and achievement of others, but must also be accountable for the tasks to which we have committed and see through what we started.
