Graduate employment
Organisations hold more information about their business environments than ever before. Increasingly, these organisations are recognising the role of data in gaining insights and out-thinking competitors. The worldwide big data analytics market was valued at US$ 37.34 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.3% to arrive at US$ 105.08 billion by 2027. This will inevitably lead to further growth of the market for employees in the area of analytics.
The MSc Data and Decision Analytics will offer students from a range of degree backgrounds the opportunity to equip themselves with an artillery of concepts, methods, and applications of data analytics, along with hands-on and practical experience in applying them. It is not just about being able to analyse and digest the data available, but to then translate this into effective decision-making.
We expect the programme to open a range of career pathways in analytics for our graduates or to allow them to progress further within their existing career. Roles we anticipate to be among these pathways include:
- Business consultants
- Business analysts
- Data analysts
- Business intelligence and analytics consultants
- Metrics and analytics specialists
- Analytics associates
- Solution architects
- Business process analysts
- Management consulting associates
- Operational research consultants
