The MSc Business Analytics is a professionally accredited, one-year specialist programme designed for students aiming to leverage and master the latest techniques in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics. It develops the skills required to integrate advanced data analytics with business decision-making, equipping graduates with the ability to bridge the gap between technical expertise and business leadership, preparing them to collaborate effectively with decision-makers in diverse organisational contexts. By combining rigorous analytical training with practical problem-framing and results communication, graduates gain the skills to contribute to data and AI-driven innovation, supporting transformative solutions across competitive industries.

Accredited by the Institute of Analytics (IoA), this programme emphasises professional and ethical standards in business analytics while enhancing employability. Designed with industry insights from leading organisations such as IBM, NHS, Amazon, and Barilla Group, and enriched by alumni feedback, it delivers a cutting-edge education.

To enhance students' analytical expertise and career readiness, the programme offers opportunities to engage with the Professional Liaison Network (PLN) on consulting projects, providing hands-on experience with organisations. Students engage in practical, real-world projects with partners who have previously included Barilla, Yeo Valley, Financial Times, IBM, and Bristol Airport, tackling managerial challenges in dynamic industries. These projects span topics such as resource allocation optimisation, people analytics, customer segmentation, performance measurement, healthcare workforce impact analysis, and renewable energy systems automation.

Students will gain hands-on experience with a range of decision-support tools, such as Python, R, MS Excel, Tableau for data visualisation, and Lingo for ad-hoc analytics, ensuring they are well-prepared to adapt to evolving technologies in the field.

Alumni and industry panel discussions, guest lectures by business analytics experts from a variety of sectors, career development workshops, and technology sessions on industry-standard tools such as PowerBI, @RISK, and SQL are integral elements designed to keep students at the forefront of current work practices. Mentorship programmes are also established to connect students with alumni and industry experts.

The programme covers:

Mastering data identification, extraction, and cleaning techniques to ensure high-quality datasets.
Applying statistical and machine learning methods for data mining and predictive analytics.
Formulating and executing statistical and mathematical models to drive optimal business decisions.
Visualising, interpreting, and effectively communicating the results of statistical analyses to inform decision-making.

Our students can also benefit from guidance we provide to help them achieve professional accreditation from the UK's leading Operational Research Society and other affiliated organisations such as the Alliance of Data Science Professionals. Read less
