What is Business Analytics?
UEA Business Analytics is the process of discovering and integrating data and information, analysing and visualising that data, and feeding those analyses into business decision-making to enable individuals and organisations to make better decisions.
Business analytics can be applied to any aspect of business decision making, from marketing to operations and supply chain management to human resources and organisational development, and beyond.
Effective business analysts need to have a good understanding of the key management issues and problems as well as excellent skills in managing and analysing quantitative and qualitative data to address those issues.

In the final year, you'll develop and undertake a major self-directed business analytics project as well as continuing with lectures, labs, and seminars.
