MSc Applied Data Analytics (Online)

Data is considered by many to be the most valuable resource in the world, even more valuable than oil. And when data is analysed and manipulated effectively, companies and organisations can use it to optimise their processes, predict trends, and identify opportunities.

Qualified data analysts are in high demand across a wide range of sectors, including financial services, entertainment, government, healthcare, telecommunications, and transport. Our online MSc in Applied Data Analytics has been designed to help you develop the hands-on skills required for these jobs.
