This program is designed for students seeking to address business challenges using quantitative data analysis. In today's landscape, companies recognize data analytics as an essential competitive advantage in the age of Big Data and AI. Organizations now have access to vast amounts of data from conventional sources like sales and operations, as well as emerging channels such as social media and IoT devices. This has created an explosion in valuable business data, marking what we now call the Big Data revolution.
Extracting meaningful insights from data is a vital process that transforms unstructured information into organized knowledge for data-driven decision making. For instance, analyzing customer tweets about a product and categorizing them as positive, neutral, or negative can help companies detect potential problems early and address them proactively.
The MSc in Business Analytics caters to graduates with quantitative backgrounds in fields like business, mathematics, physics, and related disciplines, who want to apply analytical methods across commercial, government, and nonprofit sectors. With the growing demand for data analytics professionals in an expanding market, this program helps students develop crucial business analytics skills to participate in the thriving data-driven economy.

Examples of such degrees include business studies, management science, economics, finance, accounting, engineering, mathematics, physics, computer science and other sciences.

Applicants who have a minimum of three years work experience in a position that employs quantitative methods and a 2.2 honours degree (quantitative or non-quantitative degree) may be considered for entry on a case-by-case basis.
