Key Course Facts

Course Description

Big data is big business. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the power to harness information becomes more valuable. To keep up with competition and progress, businesses need graduates who can harness the power of big data and spot new opportunities and efficiencies. This course gives you the ability to understand the applications, identify the opportunities and master the tools that turn business analytics into business impact.

You will cover a balance of techniques and practical skills, learning how big data can deliver the kind of insights that can cut costs, deliver efficiency and boost profits. There are a range of optional units on offer, while your dissertation will offer you the chance to dive deep into a topic that interests you, so you will find plenty of opportunities to tailor your studies around your ambitions.
