Business Analytics with Placement - MSc

University of Kent

Business analytics is the process of predicting the needs of an organisation and analysing the effectiveness of past and present activity. This sought-after and growing business discipline is a strategic necessity for any organisation. Our MSc Business Analytics with Industrial Placement course is delivered by published academics and in collaboration with industry leaders.
