The programme is suitable for graduates from a wide variety of disciplines who would like to use their aptitude for mathematics/computerised problem solving to address business problems. Business Analytics is a branch of applied mathematics that uses quantitative techniques to optimise decision-making in business. It is a technically focused programme directed at management applications, not a general course about management. This programme is course comparable to a Masters degree (typically MSc) in Operational Research (UK) or Operations Research (USA). We’ll teach you how to implement quantitative techniques in a business problem-solving and project management environment. We aim to develop your computer software skills and your understanding of the theory and practice of allied information systems, to make them useful in consultancy and business.
You will learn how to use advanced mathematics and quantitative techniques to make effective business decisions that will help enhance companies' performance in an increasingly competitive business environment. This specialist management programme builds on students' technical and analytical knowledge and experience while providing the technical skills needed to develop software and implement these techniques in a business problem-solving environment. You will be given the tools to be an expert in business analytics and get experience with applying these tools in practice and in engagement with leading Irish companies. You will be exposed to current research in all aspects of decision and management science, including work in the field of Project Management, Simulation, Multi-criteria Decision Making and Spatial Decision Support Systems. |
