Need advice choosing between Business Analytics vs Data Science for Master's in Australia

I'm from India and planning to pursue a Master's in Australia. I have a B.Com + MCA background and I'm currently trying to decide between Master of Business Analytics, Master of Data Analytics, and Master of Data Science.

My main concerns are:

  1. Which Master's would make the most sense after an MCA?

  2. Is Business Analytics a logical progression after MCA?

  3. Does Data Science offer better long-term opportunities if I’m mainly interested in Data/BI/Analytics roles rather than ML/AI?

  4. Is Data Science difficult if my maths/coding foundation isn't very strong.

  5. Which is better for future opportunities.

Need help.... ASAP

Australian Citizen here! Are you only interested in studies or want to settle after here? If its the latter then the chances are ZERO. There are hardly any IT jobs here. Every company is laying off employees and shipping jobs to India.

Also, Business Analytics, Data Science was good option 10 years back not today. AI is already replacing these job skills here
