Business Analytics

Every business decision is now a data decision. The professionals who can turn data into insight, and insight into action, are shaping the future of every industry. This programme prepares you to be one of them.

It is a degree for analytical, curious minds: those who want to think like business decision-makers, and to use big data, visualisation, predictive modelling and artificial intelligence to guide the choices organisations make.

Your journey begins with a year at KCIC, Chennai, earning a UK-regulated Higher National Certificate in Business. Markets, marketing, people, leadership and accounting form your foundation, and from your second semester the classroom extends into the professional world.

Then, two years in Australia at the University of Newcastle, studying in Newcastle’s city centre. You master big data analytics, data visualisation, predictive modelling, business intelligence and AI in business, and complete an industry placement before you graduate.

You graduate with a Bachelor of Business Analytics from the University of Newcastle, ready for a career where business and data meet.

The Newcastle Way

Where analytics is learnt in the context of real business.

At Newcastle, business analytics is taught as a business discipline, not only a technical one. You learn to think like a decision-maker who understands how analytics supports every stage of the decision-making process.

The degree draws on a range of business disciplines and uses real cases, so you apply new knowledge to the problems and issues you will meet in business.

Before you graduate, you complete a career-ready placement: an industry placement, or an international work placement in business.

Here, data becomes decisions.
