In a world awash with data, many organisations struggle to turn information into action. This is creating a growing demand for professionals who can bridge that gap. By combining analytical rigour, creativity, and real-world application, the Analytics programs are designed to help you learn how to transform data into clear, objective insights that can drive better, bolder business decisions.
Dr Eric Isaacson
Analytics Program Director
I never thought I could study again after a long gap and with kids. But the excellent program design, resources, halo from peers and academic staff and flexible, easy to understand study materials has enabled me to finish my masters. I learned many new skills, like programming (Python, R, Tableau), without having a single idea about it before in a very easy and effective way. The discussion forum was an interesting way for remote students to be attached to peers and exchange ideas. The program has added great value to my skills and profile, and opened the door to many opportunities I can choose from.
