Summary
Develop the modelling and consulting skills needed to understand, manage and communicate insights from big data on this immersive, full-time master’s in Business Analytics.
Often referred to as the oil of the 21st Century, business analytics is an area that is critical to business and organisational success. It is a rapidly developing field with a shortage of specialists – making it ripe with career opportunities.

Importantly, you will also learn to communicate and present your findings and recommendations to stakeholders across a business – a skill that will make you invaluable as an analytics expert.
Learn from real-world insights and expertise Working with our internationally recognised management scientists and active researchers, you will gain real-world insights into tackling routine, strategic and policy challenges across government, businesses and non-profit organisations.

Hone your skills on your own in-depth project Put your skills into practice during the final term on a supervised consulting or research project with organisations such as npower, Dstl and Defra. It is a chance to apply powerful tools such as data mining, forecasting, optimisation, simulation and decision analysis to a particular area of business or policy you are interested in.
