MSc Business Analytics
Business analytics is a recent and rapidly growing field of study which is applied across private, public, and non-profit sectors. From SME’s to MNC’s, locally and internationally, businesses have experienced an exponential growth of data collated and stored within their organisation's environment. As a business analytics student you’ll explore how data can be transformed into business insights to improve business decisions. You’ll develop skills that are in demand in the current knowledge economy and meet the demand for analysts to help businesses gain competitive advantage and enhance strategic decision making.

Grounded in sustainability
Sustainability issues are considered throughout the programme and are linked to the UN’s sustainability development goals. None of the SDGs would be measurable were it not for the use of the analytical tools and techniques taught on this programme. The course also considers sustainability in its wider sense as well as ethics and data governance.
