Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Business Analytics (Study Abroad) (N1N4)

How can analysing data solve real-life problems? What does it mean to think statistically? For those who are numerate and analytically minded, this degree can help launch their career in industry, finance, the public sector, government or consulting. In fact, in any data-rich and technology-dependent organisation.

Students will learn techniques and approaches that help organisations plan and improve their decision-making process. The department will teach students how to make forecasts and use data to understand complex behaviour. Students will be introduced to operational and strategic business contexts. As part of a team, students will work on a project for an actual client in the Lancaster area.

In the second and third years students will study a set of compulsory project management modules, which will act as a ‘core' to help them put ideas into practice, gain employee support during organisational change initiatives, and improve their consultancy skills. Students will also choose modules from specialist ‘tracks' if they wish. The Business Analytics track delivers the mathematical tools to develop practical, numerate and computer-based modelling.

Lancaster University will make reasonable endeavours to place students at an approved overseas partner university that offers appropriate modules which contribute credit to each student's Lancaster degree. Occasionally places overseas may not be available for all students who want to study abroad or the place at the partner university may be withdrawn if core modules are unavailable. If students are not offered a place to study overseas, they will be able to transfer to the equivalent standard degree scheme and would complete their studies at Lancaster. Lancaster University cannot accept responsibility for any financial aspects of the year or term abroad.
