Course summary

Business Analytics and Management

If you have a passion for numbers and want to apply them to real life settings, this course is for you.

Businesses rely on data to make decisions across all their core functions. Whether it's data on employee performance, supply chains, or market trends, managers today need to be able to work with numbers. On our BSc Business Analytics and Management course, you'll learn the skills to interpret, analyse and present data to influence and facilitate good business decisions while developing your understanding of other key business functions.

You'll learn coding and master Excel with support from our expert staff who have endless experience working with real companies. With their help and your passion, you will graduate a confident business leader, ready to make decisions, solve problems and find innovative solutions.

The foundation year is for students whose school-leaving qualifications are below the level required. It offers one year of full-time study prior to the start of your BSc course.
