MORE THAN JUST DATA ANALYTICS: SEEING MY FUTURE IN BUSINESS AT UCL SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
After reading about the UCL School of Management Business Analytics MSc programme, I immediately felt it was the perfect fit for me. The programme uniquely combines data analytics, technology, and business insights to optimise business processes and results.
I definitely made the right choice by studying at the School, as during my time in the programme, I gained foundational knowledge in coding, machine learning, and AI, as well as a data-driven mindset in business and operations, enabling me to develop solutions and adopt new approaches in tackling complex business challenges.
Practical application of skills through the dissertation project
What really stood out was the practical approach this programme offered, enabling business professionals such as myself to make more informed decisions. This was exemplified by the practical Dissertation Project we undertook in Term Three. This hands-on experience significantly enhanced my understanding, application, and confidence in making data-driven decisions in real business scenarios.

BESPOKE SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND CAREER TRANSITIONERS
The networking event at the beginning of the programme was particularly helpful for me as an international student. This event helped ease my transition from working in my home country to studying in a new environment by allowing me to meet and socialise with my peers early on.
Additionally, the well-rounded support, from one-on-one Careers services to academic writing courses, was very helpful for both students who have recently graduated and those returning to academia after working for some time.

I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone interested in leveraging data for business. Don’t worry if you feel your non-programming background puts you at a disadvantage; the programme equips you with the necessary skills for a role in business and data analytics from the get-go.
Most importantly, I've really appreciated how the School supports and nurtures talent and its students by helping them learn and grow through sharing sessions, discussions, and the dissertation project, giving real-life work experience to apply the skills you have learnt. internship. During my time on the programme, I participated in several workshops and networking events hosted by the School and its partners on topics such as Women in Business & Tech, Innovation, AI Awareness & Governance, and Sustainability.
Every challenge along the way is an opportunity for growth and discovery, so don’t limit your possibilities: embrace new experiences and try new things; the UCL School of Management campus is a safe space for you to learn and explore where your future career takes you.
