Bachelor of Business Analytics

The Bachelor of Business Analytics at the University of Wollongong provides students with a deep understanding of data-driven decision making in the context of modern business environments. This three-year undergraduate programme is designed to equip students with analytical, technical, and business skills required to extract actionable insights from complex data sets, supporting organisational strategy and operations.

Structured into semesters, the programme comprises a series of core and elective units of study, each contributing credit points towards the degree. Students explore foundational business knowledge, statistics, information systems, data visualisation, machine learning, and predictive modelling. A capstone project in the final year typically integrates accumulated skills in a real-world scenario, preparing graduates for the workforce.

Graduates develop key skills in data analysis, problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking, enabling them to make data-driven recommendations and inform policy or business strategy. The course is well-suited to students interested in bridging business and technology, and those who wish to become innovators in transforming data into competitive advantage.
