The Master of Business Analytics provides career opportunities for information technology, information systems and computer science graduates looking to gain a foothold in corporate ERP / SAP organisations.

I am Raihan Islam from Bangladesh. I am a search engine optimisation and system analyst at Upwork. I'd like to gain missing skills to re-enter the workforce or change career. 

The Master of Business Analytics provides career opportunities for information technology, information systems and computer science graduates looking to gain a foothold in corporate ERP / SAP organisations. It's for technology analysts looking to move into a career in business analytics. 

It will help me to learn advanced business analysis skills and develop to the next level.

I haven't started postgraduate study yet. My undergraduate degree name is BSc in CSE (computer science and engineering) From BAUST (Bangladesh Army University of Science and Technology), Bangladesh. I learn data warehousing with online analytical processing, data structures, C++, Java, algorithms, economics and marketing, industrial product management, design and software application, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster tools (Google Search Console), Bing Webmaster tools, Google My Business, databases, software testing and web development.

I think business analytics is to help business units, managers, top executives and other operational workers make better-informed decisions backed up with accurate data. It will ultimately help them spot new business opportunities, cut costs, or identify inefficient processes that need re-engineering. Ultimately, business analytics is about much more than the technology used to gather and analyse data. It's about having the mindset of an experimenter, and being willing to let data guide a company's decision-making process. Business analytics are plentiful and varied. Units affected can transform organisations and ways to do business deeply.

Here is an overview of six main business analytics benefits for me:

  • Understanding customers more effectively
  • Driving performance and revenue
  • Grading leads
  • Identifying sales trends
  • Providing personalised services more easily
  • Improving operational efficiency.

I hope the Master of Business Analytics (Professional) will help me become a professional business analyst, data analyst or systems analyst.
