Master of Science - Business Analytics and Consultancy

University of Hertfordshire

MSc Business Analytics and Consultancy has been developed to enable students to develop advanced knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Business Analytical Methods and Information Technology
• Business Problem Structuring and Solving
• Consultancy Skills in the Business Environment

These themes are explored through modules in Business Analytics, Computer Simulation, Creative Problem Solving, Consultancy Skills and Business Statistics.

The course also includes a project based module where students will solve a problem for a client (which counts as work experience) using the knowledge and skills acquired during their study. Furthermore, there is an applied consultancy project which will allow students to independently research, investigate and analyze a current business problem. The programme aims to provide students with the analytical knowledge and skills required to be a successful consultant in the modern business environment.

Students have the opportunity to learn from the leaders of the Business Analysis and Statistics (BAS) group. BAS includes Reda Lebcir, who is currently working on Coronavirus analytics for Public Health England. They can also benefit from the University's strong links with large organizations like Ocado, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Tesco HQ who support careers fairs, provide guest lectures, and networking events.

Graduates are working as business analysts, management consultants, and senior managers for organizations including Whitbread, Greenfolk Management Consultancy, and Accenture.
