MBA in Analytics

Data is the new currency. It’s time to invest.

Between 2010 and 2020, the amount of data created, captured and consumed grew from 2 zettabytes to a staggering 64 zettabytes globally. (A zettabyte is about a trillion gigabytes – that's a one with 21 zeros after it.) Incredibly, we're projected to nearly triple that number again and reach more than 180 zettabytes by 2025.* With unprecedented access to big data, organisations around the world are seeking experienced analysts who can transform raw information into meaningful business solutions.
