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.

We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK.

HRM is about the relationship between employers and employees and the ways in which people are managed in the workplace. This covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an important part of the management process in all organisations.

Assessment

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

Students normally have one opportunity to be re-assessed for a failed class. Exam resits normally take place during the summer.

Careers

Business Analysis & Technology

The best-performing companies look for very high levels of problem-solving ability, numeracy, technology, business awareness and teamwork in their new employees. Business Analysis & Technology delivers this to a much greater extent than many other courses in business and management.

A significant number of well-known companies specifically target graduates from Strathclyde Business School, and from the area of management science in particular.

Human Resource Management

A degree in Human Resource Management from Strathclyde is greatly valued by employers. Many graduates find jobs directly related to HRM while others go into broader business and administrative roles.

Our HRM graduates find jobs in insurance, retail, manufacturing, recruitment consultancy and in the public sector. Some are employed in jobs such as HR trainee, HR assistant and recruitment consultant, while others are employed in general administration and management.
