Bachelor of Business Analytics

The Bachelor of Business Analytics at Edith Cowan University in Perth dives into using data-driven insights to solve business challenges. Across three years of full-time study, you’ll complete a mix of core business units, specialised analytics subjects, and a selection of electives. Coursework focuses on data analysis, decision support systems, data visualisation, database management, and business process analytics, giving you practical skills to work with real datasets and software common to the Australian business environment.

Australian bachelor degrees are structured in units of study, each worth a set number of credit points, typically adding up to 360 points for a standard three-year programme. Students often have the chance to choose electives or minor specialisations, depending on interests and career goals. For Business Analytics, expect a strong business core, technical analytics subjects, and a capstone or project unit where you’ll apply your skills to a real or simulated organisational problem. Work-integrated learning or professional placements are often available, connecting you to local companies or public sector agencies to gain relevant experience.

During your studies, you’ll develop skills in statistical analysis, data interpretation, report writing, and business communication. Practical tasks will include working with databases, creating dashboards, and presenting findings for different stakeholders. The degree is well suited if you enjoy logical problem-solving and want to work at the intersection of technology and business decision-making.

International students in Australia may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and after graduation, this CRICOS-registered degree may provide a path to the post-study work stream of the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
