About Business and Management (Business Analytics), PG Cert - at University of Essex Online

Increasingly, in order to excel in business, there is a need to understand the complexities and possibilities available through effective and ethical use of data. This field can be challenging to master, and this short postgraduate course gives an insight into the key methods a manager can use to analyse data and make decisions concerning it.

The applications of this degree can be used across departments such as finance, customer service, business development, marketing and more, and the skills developed will help you improve as a manager as well as a data analyst.

Over eight months, this course explores key topics within management and analytics including:

  • financial decision-making in the short and long term
  • the theory underpinning data and knowledge management
  • the applications of statistics in contemporary management and decision making

Once you have completed your course, you have the opportunity to advance onto a PG Dip or full Masters degree in business analytics.
