MSc Business Analytics

Our Master in Business Analytics programme brings together the expertise and knowledge of Durham University Business School and the Department of Computer Science. The programme is intended to provide premium Masters-level education and training in relevant areas of contemporary business analytics in a supportive research-led interdisciplinary learning environment.  Our one year, full-time MSc Business Analytics programme is designed to help you understand the role of business analytics within an organisation, and help you gain insights from data through decision making techniques, algorithms for big data, machine learning, and natural language techniques for social media analytics.

Our strong international activities are an integral part of the programme and aim at providing you with the experiential learning needed to acquire an inside perspective of operating globally. That’s why we offer a range of opportunities to help you immerse yourself in a country’s business and academic environment, make new contacts and stand out in a competitive job market. Your field trip is comprised of visits to a series of data-intensive participating organisations in Silicon Valley to analyse them using a structured learning approach, where you will present your analysis to the representatives of the participating organisations.
