Today’s businesses have an increasing need to make sense of the large quantities of structured and unstructured data that are generated. Understanding how to integrate large and complex data sets, and transform data into meaningful insights and actions, is vital for business success.

The Master of Business Analytics equips students with the analytical skills needed to extract meaning from complex data sets, the ability to converse with other technical experts (such as computer scientists), and the capacity to make meaning of the output. This business expertise is highly sought after in the global workplace.

Students of the Master of Business Analytics will graduate with a range of skills, including:

  • The ability to understand the theoretical background of data analytics and data processing of unstructured data
  • Specialised technical skills to understand, apply and interpret the various approaches to data analysis, be able to adapt strategies to a specific situation and understand the limitations of data
  • Be able to understand the ethical issues related to protecting the rights of individuals and the integrity of data collected and analysed
  • Communication skills to transfer knowledge clearly, effectively and appropriately in relation to data analytics issues
  • The ability to identify and implement the use of data analytics tools and techniques in a variety of business disciplines
