Bachelor of Business Analytics

The Bachelor of Business Analytics at the University of Newcastle is designed to equip students with robust analytical and business skills required in today's data-driven organisations. Across three years of full-time study, students engage in a carefully structured programme that covers fundamental business principles alongside advanced data analytics techniques, including statistical analysis, data visualisation, business intelligence, and predictive modelling. The curriculum consists of compulsory and elective units of study, each contributing a set number of credit points towards graduation, allowing students some flexibility to specialise in areas of personal or professional interest.

This degree typically follows a semester-based structure, enabling students to balance core study areas such as finance, marketing, management, and information systems with dedicated analytics units. Throughout the course, students develop practical skills in interpreting and leveraging data to inform decision-making, combined with an understanding of the ethical and strategic aspects of analytics in business contexts. Work-integrated learning or professional placement opportunities may be offered, providing valuable Australian industry experience and real-world application of classroom learning.

Students benefit from academic support and industry-relevant learning, reflecting Australian business standards and needs. This course is ideal for those with a keen interest in both business and data, who wish to build a future in sectors where data-driven insights drive success. With an Australian Bachelor’s degree located on the AQF, this programme prepares graduates for both immediate employment and further postgraduate study.
