Short Description

The final dissertation is an opportunity to work independently to apply everything you’ve learned, covering all stages of a research-based project, including problem definition, literature review, methodology and analysis. The research project may be based upon a real-world problem from a sponsor company.

The dissertation can be taken over 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. Students choosing the shorter pathways may have a substantially higher workload per week.

You’ll learn to:

• Identify a business analytics problem in an area of interest, such as a real-world problem from a sponsor company
• Select, analyse and present numerical or non-numerical data, developing rigorous arguments through the appropriate use of concepts and models
• Synthesise multidisciplinary perspectives, derive managerial insights and implement an appropriate course of action
• Present the problem and the solution in written form, conforming to acceptable standards of presentation and expression
