Ranked 68th globally (QS, 2027), Birmingham's MSc Business Analytics teaches you to turn data into decisions. You’ll analyse real datasets and turn your findings into actionable recommendations for organisations, from start-ups to global companies.
You'll start by building foundational skills in business analytics. Business Analytics and the Digital Organisation introduces how data functions inside modern organisations, while Data Analytics and Predictive Modelling develops the statistical and modelling skills you'll use throughout the course.
You'll apply these skills to specific business functions, including:
You will gain hands-on experience with industry software including python and tableau. Alongside this, Analytics Micro Courses let you build additional specialist knowledge in areas that match your own interests and career plans.
On the Business Analytics Capstone Project, you'll apply everything you've learned to a real dataset supplied by an industry partner or a University of Birmingham department. You'll take the project through the full analytics cycle, framing the problem, analysing the data, and presenting recommendations.
Beyond your studies, you can join a residential trip to the Raymond Priestley Centre , the University's outdoor education centre on Coniston Water in the Lake District. The residential trip is built around teamwork, communication and problem-solving exercises.
You can take part in the Business School's Future Leaders Certificate where you work on a project set by a multinational company.

Birmingham Business School's strategic focus is on architecting change for a responsible future, and analytics sits at the centre of that. As organisations face growing pressure to make decisions that are both commercially sound and responsible, the ability to interpret data accurately and use it responsibly is becoming essential to making better decisions and creating meaningful impact.

The Centre for Responsible Business brings a further dimension to your studies, exploring how organisations can use data and analytics responsibly, considering not just what a business can do with data, but what it should do.
You may also have the opportunity to apply for a B-Experienced internship , gaining practical workplace experience with a regional or national employer alongside your studies.
