About
Prepare yourself for the future of data-driven decision-making in business and management. This course provides you with the tools to find, manage, analyse and interpret data to support business decisions. You'll develop a critical appreciation of the strengths and limitations of these tools.
You’ll gain invaluable experience, working with others and presenting findings and ideas. In your final year of study you'll undertake a major analytics project.
