Messages from Alumni

The MSc in Business Analytics programme has been an invaluable experience that has fully prepared me for the realities of working as a business analyst. Unlike many programmes on the market, the MSc in Business Analytics strikes an ideal balance between imparting foundational theories and equipping students with technical methodologies. Notably, the curriculum ensures that graduates can effectively translate skills and knowledge into practical applications for real-world business challenges.

By combining hands-on projects and case studies, I was able to build a portfolio demonstrating my ability to clean and understand complex data, construct predictive models, and translate data-driven insights into practical business recommendations. This applied learning approach honed my analytical mindset and presentation skills – capabilities that I believe will be highly transferable to any future role in my career path. The curriculum also ensures proficiency with industry-relevant languages and tools, including SQL, SPSS, Python, and SmartPLS.

Overall, this programme offers a solid foundation for prospective business analysts to develop both the essential skill sets and the necessary business acumen to thrive in this dynamic industry. The experience has been incredibly enjoyable and rewarding.
