Business Analytics MSc

 London, Canary Wharf

Companies need people who can take data and transform it into a powerful strategic asset. This programme provides a rigorous, practical foundation in the key skills needed to unlock the value of data, and an in-depth understanding of how companies can use data to make decisions and improve business performance.

The world is changing; companies are capturing trillions of bytes of information about their customers, suppliers, and operations. This explosion of data is disrupting industries and creating new opportunities.

Companies need people who can take data, understand it, process it, extract value from it, visualise it, and communicate it. They need people who deeply understand data, its potential and its limitations, who can frame business problems, analyse data with statistical techniques, develop and maintain predictive models, and communicate analytics results to business executives, partners and customers.

Business Analytics is taught by UCL School of Management. It combines modules that explore how data and analytics are transforming key areas of business (strategy, marketing, operations) with modules that provide the statistical and computational skills needed to make effective use of the latest business analytics tools.

Business Analytics requires a combination of management insight, strong quantitative and analytical skills, and an understanding of the technology required to handle data at scale. The innovative programme prepares people for leadership roles in the next generation of innovation-intensive organisations.

The UCL School of Management works closely with global companies and high-growth businesses at the cutting-edge of management practice.
