Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data; new technologies and ways of working are changing the way we make decisions.

The course focuses on two areas: analysing business data and using data to solve business challenges.
This course includes a placement module as a final project, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned in a relevant organisation. This course has two main pathways: operations or finance.
