How you’ll study
Online learning environment
The MBA with Data Analytics is delivered through the university’s Moodle virtual learning environment, combining live and pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, discussion forums, and collaborative group activities. The platform supports a blended approach – you engage with content at your own pace while participating in scheduled seminars and peer discussions that bring your learning to life. Guest speakers and data practitioners are integrated throughout the programme, providing direct insight into how organisations use data to inform strategy.
Weekly study commitment
Full-time students should expect to dedicate approximately 35-40 hours per week across directed learning, independent study, and assessment preparation.

The programme is structured around modules that balance self-paced learning with interactive, tutor-led sessions, so you can build a study routine that works alongside your professional life.
Assessment methods
Assessment is grounded in real-world application. You will work through case studies, data analysis projects, interactive workshops, group assignments, and individual written submissions. Tools such as Mentimeter and live polling are used within sessions to create an engaging, participatory learning experience. The programme culminates in an Applied Research or Consultancy Project, where you use data analytics to tackle a genuine business challenge.
