As the influence of data analysis methodology grows, and the volume of data collected increases rapidly, the number and variety of roles in data science are also growing significantly. The purpose of our MSc Business Analytics is to develop industry-ready analytics professionals who have knowledge and skills in the techniques that are integral to developing and implementing the analytics function of organisations, making graduates attractive to employers. (In the Scottish Employer Skills Survey (Scottish Government, 2021) complex analytical skills accounted for 44% of skill-shortage vacancies.)
Graduates will have gained useful and practical business and descriptive, prescriptive and predictive analytics skills and knowledge. This will enable them to significantly contribute to the performance of any organisation and to deliver important information for key business decisions and business development within the global business environment.
Additionally, the program will develop software and modelling skills for implementing analytics projects, including the use of tools that are widely used in the analytics industry such as Python, R, Excel-based modelling, and Simul8.
