Develop data-driven decision-making skills
You'll study within a network of industry experts who are constantly using data analytics for businesses, governments, and communities to help them find answers. From analysing NDIS customer needs and the use of social media for health promotion, to exploring the effectiveness of tourism branding or the efficiency of household electricity consumption – our researchers are well versed in using data to solve organisational issues. And they’ll support you to do the same, so you can apply your learning to real business situations.
Ready when you are
With five different start dates throughout the year, this business data analytics degree works around your schedule. You can take on more subjects or scale back as you need. It’s your course at your pace.
The ideal stepping stone
The Graduate Certificate in Business Data Analytics is the perfect introduction to postgraduate study in the data field.

That will set you up for success across many types of organisations – whether you’re looking to upskill in your current role or seeking a new one. Wherever you want to take your career next – perhaps adding data analysis to your skill set as a business analyst to help drive growth or working as a customer insights manager building operations based on consumer behaviour, for example – you’ll have a competitive edge and be ready to take on any business challenge.
