Program Outline

Degree Overview:

To stay competitive, innovate, increase profits and better serve customers, businesses need to continually adapt and improve their processes. And to do so, they’ll increasingly prioritize data-driven decision-making. It’s this focus on data that’s responsible for the boom in business analyst roles – the Australian government ranks business analysts in the top 20 in-demand occupations, and the the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2030, the number of BA roles will grow at a rate three times the average for all roles. And you’ll develop the analytic, communication and project management skills required to tame the IT–business interface across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, education, finance, retail and hospitality.

Careers:

With a rapidly evolving job market, it’s vital that you have the right skills to evolve with it. We’ll help you upskill or reskill so you can take the next career step in your current industry, or move to one that matches your changing interests. View professions and potential employers.
