Business Analysts play an important role in many organisations, working with stakeholders to improve business processes and to successfully plan and deliver business change projects. By studying this programme, you will develop a range of both technical and communication skills which will enable you to successfully fulfil the role of a Business Analyst. The programme has been designed in collaboration with major employers and throughout, you will have the opportunity to work with employers on simulated and live projects, in order to develop your skills, knowledge and experience. The programme is mapped to the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education Occupational Standard for Business Analysts, meaning it develops in students the skills, knowledge and behaviours demanded by employers in this sector.
