Why this course?

Business Analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions while technology is at the heart of all modern business. Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology.

Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. Theyre also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues.

Our finance degree is unique in Scotland in terms of the range and depth of issues covered. Employers tell us that they particularly value the range of subject combinations available at Strathclyde, ensuring that our students have in-depth understanding of a second subject to complement their finance studies. A degree in finance will give you the skills for a career in financial services such as banking, investment management, pension fund management and insurance.

Assessment

The majority of classes involve a final unseen exam which is normally at the end of the semester. This is normally supplemented by one of more forms of individual and/or group coursework.
