    About

    Get the technical know-how to use powerful analytics tools and transform 'big data' into meaningful business insights with this short, highly practical qualification.

    Why study the Graduate Certificate in Business Analytics?

    Business analytics enables organisations to bring data to life so they can make better informed business, financial, and marketing decisions to guide their future.

    This specialised course is designed for people who want to work in roles that leverage data to create value and solve business problems, then communicate their recommendations to a company's stakeholders.

    Learn how to use powerful tools to extract and analyse 'big data' from a wide range of sources, visualise key trends and patterns, and transform complex datasets into meaningful business insights.

    Students will work on real-world scenarios while developing their skills in data scraping/mining, data cleaning/wrangling, data analysis and visualisation, prediction and querying, reporting and forecasting. And you'll get exposure to business analytics tools such as Google BigQuery, Excel, and Business Intelligence (Power BI and Tableau).
