About the Course

The Master of Business Analytics is suited to recent business and non-business graduates (excluding students who majored in Business Analytics or Data Science), and mid-career professionals who have not completed a Business Analytics qualification.

This practice-focused programme will equip you to interrogate business challenges and then source, manipulate and analyse data to address issues and inform organisational strategies.

You will also develop a strong portfolio of professional skills that will enable you to communicate effectively to a non-technical audience through the use of data visualisation tools and storytelling.

Specialisations: You will have a choice of three specialisations. These provide the opportunity to develop and apply analytical techniques in your field and engage in a project-based industry capstone that provides experience in responding to the challenges of working in a live business context with real data.*

*Specialisations are driven by demand and might not be offered every quarter.
