MSc Business Analytics (with specialisation in Management Science)

UCL (University College London)

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.
