This course provides students with a broad set of skills and knowledge that are needed to support modern organisations. Students will begin to specialise after their first year, choosing from a wide range of modules designed to stretch and challenge students and equip them with the skills they need to start a successful career or to serve as a basis for further study. In their first year, we build on the maths they did at school, introducing techniques and approaches that help organisations to plan and make better decisions. Students will learn to think statistically and analyse data. They will learn how to make forecasts and how to use data to understand complex behaviour and be introduced to the operations and strategic business contexts in which these ideas can be applied. Students will also take a 'live' module, working in small teams to deliver a project for a client in the Lancaster area. The benefit of a Business Analytics and Consultancy degree is its wide application across the business world. Our graduates work for large and small companies around the world, in a variety of roles. The skills you gain from your degree are highly sought after in order to solve business problems and improve decision making.
