Singapore is fast developing into a globally competitive knowledge-based economy that thrives on the availability of information and knowledge. With the explosive growth in data, there is a growing demand for graduates who are able to harness the data for business decision making.
The BSc in Business Analytics equips students with the ability to apply appropriate analytics techniques so that business data can be transformed into valuable information. This in turn helps organisations to improve operational performance, enhance customer engagements, and identify new opportunities to steer the organisations forward.
The programme offers a balanced curriculum that covers essential business modules as well as data analytics. Armed with a solid foundation in business fundamentals and relevant data analytics skills, students are equipped to pursue a minor programme (e.g., Information and Communications Technology, Financial Technology, Marketing, Accountancy, etc.) to further specialise in their chosen field.
The final-year students are required to complete a comprehensive project that puts their business analytics skills and knowledge into practical application. Hence, graduates acquire the ability to perform a broad range of tasks needed for data-driven businesses.
