Postgraduate Certificate Business Analytics
Business Analytics focuses on understanding the data generated by individual organisations, and how it can be used to improve business practices.
As a conversion course developed in close partnership with industry we welcome students from any academic discipline and you will learn to use powerful visual programming and scripting tools, such as Orange, R, Power-BI, Python. These tools will enable you to learn how to deploy statistical analysis, predictive analytics, text analytics and data-mining tools to provide clear actionable solutions for business leaders and influence business strategy.
What our partners say about the course:
“The MSc focusses on business ownership of strategy and decision making, exploring both ethics and data science in the business context. This is important for local authorities as they embark on creating an open data platform at a national level. Many of these national level discussions have been centred on the ethics and cleansing of data before release, proving this MSc to be both current and relevant to today’s business needs.” Scott Ross, Portfolio and Business Manager for Stirling council

Job Opportunity Potential
In an on-going survey by the DataLab of organisations across all sectors in Scotland, 44% of the organisations indicate that the biggest constraint to develop a data driven decision making approach is the lack of a compelling business case and lack of the right skills and access to training. This demonstrates the need for capability building in this area not only in Scotland but at an international level. A 2014 report by Egon Zehnder and the Kellog School of Management states that “all leaders need a working knowledge of data science” and that “there is no lack of data scientist, rather a lack of data-ready managers”. This is the specific issue that this course will address.
Graduates will acquire knowledge, skills and experience for a successful career in roles requiring good understanding of business analytics and data-driven decision-making. These may include:
- Strategic Planning or Sustainability analytics teams
- Customer Insight or Marketing Analytics teams
- Finance, Pricing or other technical analytics teams
- Process improvement or other technical operations teams
- Data quality management or other data focused teams
The University of Stirling Management School has a dedicated Employability Manager. From the very beginning of the course your career is our focus, and you’ll take part in an innovative week-long global financial trading boot camp run by Amplify.
