Business analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions while technology is at the heart of all modern business. Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology. Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. They’re also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues. This joint degree bridges the gap between business analysis & technology, mathematics and statistics. Our course emphasises how maths can be used to solve practical problems. Statistics can be used to explore and explain the uncertain world we live in. You’ll develop mathematical and statistical expertise at the same time as broadening your skills in the largest Business School in Scotland (and one of the largest in Europe). Our flexible degree structure enables transfer between courses.
