MSc Business Intelligence & Data Analytics Programme Overview
Data is considered “the oil” of the 21st century, and analytics its combustion engine. Businesses and organisations are increasingly realising the high value of the information hidden in the mounds of data collected and stored. They are investing growing levels of resources to discover the insights hidden in their data through the application of data mining and analytics techniques. Businesses and organisations use such insights combined with business intelligence to detect changing preferences in customer behavior, as well as other emerging trends, thereby increasing their competitive advantage and long-term sustainability.
In today’s analytics economy, in which data science is increasingly adopted by companies across all industries, the demand for data and tech-savvy employees is far exceeding the available supply and thus companies struggle to recruit the required talent for their business intelligence and data analytics.
The MSc in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics is designed to equip the participants with the necessary knowledge and a diverse set of skills required throughout the data analytics lifecycle. This skillset includes business data requirements, data acquisition and integration, data storage, data processing, data analysis, insights derivation, and ultimately, the business deployment of derived insights in a meaningful and successful manner.
It is a unique and innovative-by-design postgraduate degree that combines both managerial and technical aspects around the data science field. Particular emphasis is given to participants acquiring practical skills for implementing data science solutions, as well as enhancing their decision-making capabilities in Information Technology from a data science perspective.
The curriculum is designed to transform the participants into data scientists and equip them with the knowledge and skillset required to contribute and compete in the rapidly advancing data-driven economy.
