What you'll study

This programme is jointly run by the School of Business and Management and School of Mathematical Sciences. Students will have the opportunity to develop their mathematical and statistical knowledge, as well as gain practical experience of using leading software tools.

The course material aims to equip students with the skills to manage IT and analytics specialists, and to understand the leadership and organisational challenges associated with the digitisation of business processes. It examines how robust findings can be obtained from analytics and applied to the direction of businesses.

The programme is taught using real-world cases from different markets and countries, and draws on the experience of an advisory group of current managers from real digital businesses. Summer placement opportunities with these industry partners may be available.

Structure

Compulsory/Core modules

Group Project in Business Analytics

This module is the capstone module for the MSc in Business Analytics. Students will work in groups and will be required to provide analysis of a problem or question using complex data from a business context. Each group will be assigned a Mentor who will guide the group through the process of structuring the analytical problem, obtaining and organising the data, data analysis and presentation of results. Final assessment will be based on individual essays which cover specific aspects of the case and student's reflection in the light of Business Analytics methods and theories.

Masterclass in Business Analytics

The Masterclass in Business Analytics introduces students to current industrial and commercial business analytics practices. This is done through three components: 1. A hands-on experience with industry-popular Machine-Learning software packages; 2. Descriptions of recent Big-Data projects, initiatives and business models from leading corporations and organisations; and 3. Direct interaction with London-based industry experts through class presentations.

Leadership Skills for Business Analytics

The module will familiarise students with the fundamentals of effective leadership in analytical initiatives/project teams including the difference between leading and managing initiatives/projects, dealing with resistance, knowledge hoarding and different stakeholder interests, transactional versus transformational leadership, inspiring peers and subordinates effective communication, trust and knowledge sharing within and across teams and other stakeholders, presenting and pitching concepts and results, managing the organisational synergy of a team and dealing with acceleration and over-acceleration in analytical projects.

Strategic Analysis

This module will explore various theoretical approaches used to explain what markets managers choose to compete within, why and how. We will begin by examining the "traditional" competitive positioning and resource-based views, and critically evaluate these analytical approaches and their appropriateness in an increasingly networked, globalised, digitised and fluid competitive environment. The module will then provide an overview of the emerging literature on the application and use of big data and data analytics within organisations.

Experiments for Business and Analytics

This compulsory module is taught in Semester 2 building on statistical methods in Data Analytics module in Semester 1. The module introduces students to the problem of causal inference, theories of causality and causal effects empirical methods. The focus is on randomised controlled trials in similar settings. Students learn about different econometric techniques to identify causal effects and their strengths and weaknesses. Data collection and organisation of real or natural experiments, data analysis and reporting results to non-specialists is covered.

Introduction to Mathematics and Statistics for Business

This 0-credit module covers Mathematics and Statistics topics which are useful for the different quantitative modules and MSc dissertations. The Mathematics topics include: linear and non linear equations, differentiation, growth and discounting and logarithms. The Statistics topics include: descriptive statistics, probabilities and distributions.

Data Analytics

Data Analytics refers to the use of statistics and machine learning in inferring information from data sets, with the ultimate goal of gaining insight and aiding decision-making. This module introduces statistical modelling, regression analysis, and machine learning, and the use of the R software environment in analyzing data.

Programming for Business Analytics

In business environments the ability to use key software packages is vital, particularly the universally used Microsoft Office portfolio. This module will teach you how to customise and program two key aspects of Microsoft Office used in Analytics; the database package Access and the spreadsheet software Excel.

Elective modules

SAS for Business Intelligence

This module is key for students wishing to further their understanding of the visualisation techniques used in business decision processes using the powerful SAS Visual Analytics software. You will learn Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the most prevalent programming language in industry and some Structured Query Language (SQL) for data manipulation. The course is taught by an actuary with 15 years industry experience in this area.

Time Series Analysis for Business

This module will present methods for time series analysis.These will allow the student to understand better how to use and extract information from historical business data series. In particular, the student will learn how to extract the pivotal concepts of time series data, including the trend and cyclic components of a data series, calculate the autocorrelation, learn about autoregressive and moving average models, and cointegration.The module will develop the notions around realistic business examples and an implementation of the methods will be provided using the statistic software R..

Optimisation for Business Processes

Optimisation refers to the selection of the best alternative, according to some criterion, from a set of available alternatives. This module introduces standard models from mathematical optimisation, like network flows and linear programmes, and their use in solving real-world optimisation problems; in staff and project scheduling, commodity trading, production, and sales. Tutorials focus on modelling of real-world optimisation problems based on data, and on the use of software such as R, Excel, and Gurobi to solve optimisation problems and make better decisions.

Financial Data Analytics

This module will provide students with a general understanding of current applications of data analytics to finance and in particular to derivatives and investment banking. It will introduce a range of analytical tools such as volatility surface management, yield curve evolution and FX volatility/correlation management. It will also provide you with an overview of some standard tools in the field such as Python, R, Excel/VBA and the Power BI Excel functionality. Students are not expected to have any familiarity with coding or any of the topics above, as the module will develop these from scratch. It will provide you with the understanding of a field necessary to prepare for a career in finance in roles such as trading, structuring, management, risk management and quantitative positions in investment banks and hedge funds.

Project Management

The module will focus on project management techniques, methodologies, theories appropriate to projects that deliver complex outcomes in a context of high uncertainty on the desired result. The module will also provide team and teaming management principles and practices needed to obtain the desired project management results within time, budget and quality. Students will be encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to earn an accreditation for project management and the course will prepare students for this additional examination.

Complex Networks and Innovation

The structure and dynamics of various complex networks (e.g. World Wide Web, online social, intra/interorganisational, im/export trade networks) are examined. A unified theoretical framework to analyse sociologically relevant phenomena exhibiting complex dynamic network structures (e.g. information diffusion, cultural fads, financial crises, and viral marketing) is the aim. Innovation, to uncover the structural foundations of knowledge creation, transfer, sharing, and diffusion in various empirical domains is emphasised from an interdisciplinary perspective by combining current research on complex networks with contributions from relevant organisational and sociological research.

Digital Business, Innovation and Transparency

The module focuses on the implications of entrepreneurial innovation on economy and organisation. The central theme of the module is the exploration of the most recent technological developments in organisations and economy. The module overviews the strategic benefits of the implementation and the use of emerging technologies across the different sectors in the economy.

Entrepreneurship for Digital Technologies

This module integrates the theory and practice of innovation and entrepreneurship. We will also help develop your skills, abilities and behaviour towards entrepreneurial venturing, whether in established organisations or new ventures. Although business is an important context for this course, the process, skills and ideas we will address are also important for social, sustainability and third sector innovation, and intrapreneurial activities inside established organisations. We will also address broad issues about entrepreneurship, and how it can lead to social benefits and economic value. The module is intended to draw together learning from many different functional areas that students will have already covered in the past - marketing, strategy, finance, law etc. - and place these within the larger context of innovation and entrepreneurship. While we will discuss many tools, models, and frameworks that can assist innovation and entrepreneurship processes, a core focus within the course is to critically analyse and apply these ideas.

Please note that all modules are subject to change.

Assessment

Summative assessment of taught course units will use various methods, ranging from conventional academic coursework and examinations through to shorter specific exercises and analyses of data. Formative assessment will take place using class presentations and debates, short written exercises and group work.

Work completed for the Masterclass and Group Project modules are examined on the basis of a written report, a formal oral presentation, and a demonstration of the insights gained from the projects. The projects will have two examiners each, with a third if there is disagreement.

Research project

You will work in a group to provide analysis of a problem or question, using complex data from a business context. This data is usually supplied by a partner company.

"The world-class facilities and educators have helped me to better understand coding and implement it in real-world situations. For our final project, we had the chance to experience working with one of the top fintech companies in London. Queen Mary has so many perks to offer, other than just being a student!"
