You will learn to design, commission, manage and deliver data projects and develop the skills and knowledge required to access, analyse and visualise data for business applications.

Assessment

Typically students are assessed:

3 written assignments, including essays
4 reports
1 dissertation (or project)
2 portfolios
1 project output (or dissertation)

This course does not feature a separate placement, but features industry projects throughout, ensuring you leave with a portfolio of industry projects on your cv and an enhanced professional network.

Job Prospects

With a curriculum designed to meet this skills gap, the job prospects leading from MSc Business Analytics are significant.
