Business Analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions while technology is at the heart of all modern business.

Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology. Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. They’re also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues.

We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK.

HRM is about the relationship between employers and employees and the ways in which people are managed in the workplace. This covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an important part of the management process in all organisations.

Study with us

• Gain an understanding of the impact on organisations of developments and issues in business technology
• Learn about recruitment and selection, training and developing, rewards, diversity and managing conflict at work
• Develop analytical expertise to support business decision-making
• Extend your skills through practical case studies with a range of organisations
• Join our HRM Society and share knowledge and practice, awareness of careers and build relationships with alumni and employers

Electronic systems are important to nearly every aspect of our lives. Spectacular advances in technology, design and development allow increasing capabilities to be put into ever-smaller electronic devices.

Just think about your mobile – a smart phone that can now make calls, take and send pictures, give you ultra-fast wireless internet access wherever you are and download, play and store 1000s of albums. It may even have specialist security features like fingerprint identity sensors and voice-activated operating systems. But your smartphone is much more than that. For example:

• It can be used in sports development to monitor specific fitness parameters and help athletes improve their performance levels
• It can be used in healthcare to help with diagnosis using software to allow doctors to gather, monitor and assess clinical data while patients are at home

These are just a couple of examples that showcase the impact and relevance of electronic systems. New approaches within optical computing and nanotechnology provide the potential for even greater advances.
