Ride on the opportunity
In recent decades, new technologies have enabled efficient business transactions and helped organisations
expand their business scopes and expedite their business processes. But at the same time, technologies also
leave companies with a vast quantity of business data. Consequently, it has become a pressing and
unprecedented challenge for organisations to not only understand these data, but also to find ways to derive
useful information from them.
Business analytics make extensive use of business data, statistical tools, and quantitative methods to drive better
business management and these professionals are highly demanded in nearly all business sectors.
Integration of business and data analysis study
Students will be equipped with knowledge and tools that can help them derive useful
information from mass business data and utilise these information intelligently in making
faster and more effective business decisions.
The latest global business analytics practices
The curriculum often incorporates the latest trends in analytics, such as machine learning
and artificial intelligence, ensuring that graduates are equipped with cutting-edge skills that
are highly demanded in the job market. Making extensive use of business data together with
the deployment of statistical tools and quantitative methods, students will learn how to
convert large amount of data into meaningful information and statistics.

It requires students to complete a real-world business analytics project, in collaboration with
a company or organization. Students are required to form a project team, under the joint
