Course summary

Business analytics is a fast-growing subject area and our BSc Business analytics course will equip you with the core skills and knowledge needed to pursue a career in this growing field. This course has several distinct and innovative features which focus on teaching you the practical skills of business analytics using industry-standard software to apply analytical techniques. It has been developed on a foundation of big data and business analytics with core analytical modules covering:

  • data mining

  • programming.
The course proceeds to contextualise business analytics within key business functional areas of marketing, operations and finance.
