Our students’ skills and backgrounds
UCL’s Business Analytics students enter the programme with a range of business experience or build directly upon their undergraduate degrees. They are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and passionate about technology and data.
Core modules in Business Strategy and Predictive Analytics provide a foundation in how companies create value and competitive advantage in complex, innovation-intensive, data-driven environments.
Statistical Foundations and Programming for Business Analytics ensure that students have the necessary statistical and programming skills to be able to make effective use of the latest analytics tools.
Additional core modules in Marketing Analytics and Operations Analytics explore in greater depth how data and analytics can unlock value in these key areas and build the insight and skills required to define and deliver practical, high-impact business analytics projects that improve business performance.
