Business analytics is the process of predicting the needs of an organisation and analysing the effectiveness of past and present activity. This sought-after and growing business discipline is a strategic necessity for any organisation. Our MSc Business Analytics with Industrial Placement course is delivered by published academics and in collaboration with industry leaders. Youll learn the skills, technologies, applications and practices to become an expert in interpreting and analysing enterprise data effectively. Taking a 12-month industrial placement allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master's. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a placement takes the length of your course to up to two years.

This course is also available with an Internationally Incorporated Masters (IIM) specifically designed for the needs of international students.
