Given the ever-increasing volume of data that businesses have access to today, there is a demand for employees who have computational, analytical and business strategy skills who can inform business decisions to increase efficiency and an organisation’s value. This Master of Science in Business Analytics has been developed with the aim of providing learners with the knowledge, skills and research capability to critically analyse, implement and evaluate big data concepts and techniques in order to generate valuable insights, thereby assisting with strategic business decisions, increasing productivity, profitability and an organisation’s value and market share. This is an interdisciplinary programme that focuses on business management, data analytics and computing. It is designed to appeal to graduates seeking to gain exposure to the technology and data-enabled business model. The programme is constructed as a one year full-time or two-year part-time programme of 10 taught modules of 65 ECTS and a research project of 25 ECTS, leading to an award of Master of Science in Business Analytics. The programme contains a wide range of formative and summative assessments including individual and group work, projects, presentations and case studies. Learners will synthesise their postgraduate studies with experiential learning gaining critical analysis and self-reflection skills to embrace lifelong learning to progress professionally or undertake further studies and/or research. Through the project, learners will develop independent research and problem-solving skills reflective of their expansion of business analytics competencies and contribute to their chosen field of enquiry, which will be valuable in a variety of contexts in the workplace.
