The Master of Business Analytics is suited to recent business and non-business graduates (excluding students who majored in Business Analytics or Data Science), and mid-career professionals who have not completed a Business Analytics qualification.
Delivered by New Zealand's leading business school (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026), this programme is practice focused. We will equip you to interrogate business challenges. You will then source, manipulate and analyse data to address issues and inform organisational strategies.
You will also develop a strong portfolio of professional skills that will enable you to communicate effectively to a non-technical audience by using data visualisation tools and storytelling.
Specialisations: You will have a choice of three specialisations. These provide the opportunity to develop and apply analytical techniques in your field. You will complete a capstone project that gives you the opportunity to apply your learning to practical challenges, either in collaboration with an organisation or under the guidance of an industry mentor.*
Specialisations are driven by demand and might not be offered every quarter.
