Why choose this course?
Multidisciplinary course design includes industry sponsored projects and modern teaching approaches that account for work experience
Course objectives
The Business Analytics course has a modular approach as follows:
- Core Development – Year 1 and Term One of Year 2
- Core Specialisation – Term Two of Year 2
- Deployment Specialisation – Year 3
On successful completion of the Core Development Stage, students will have acquired a foundational knowledge and understanding of the key concepts and principles underlying your area of study, the ability to recognise and explain them, and to identify and apply appropriate solutions when presented with a problem.
On successful completion of the Core Specialisation Stage, students have built on the knowledge and understanding gained at the Core Development Stage and demonstrated an ability to analyse and apply these concepts and principles to complex problems and scenarios.
In the Deployment Specialisation Stage, students are able to develop a very distinctive range of knowledge and skills which will supplement the objectives that underline the course as a whole. Students may also produce a final year project which provides you with work experience by delivering an industry sponsored project.
