Course details

Postgraduate Certificate in Business Analytics PGCertBusAn
NZQF Level 8

About the course

The Postgraduate Certificate in Business Analytics (PGCertBusAn) will develop your knowledge and skills, enabling you to investigate business challenges. You will source, manipulate and analyse data to address issues and inform the development of business strategies. The programme will equip you for entering or advancing a career as a business analytics professional in local and global settings. The PGCertBusAn is an alternative pathway for domestic graduates who are initially uncertain about committing to a masters programme, and for those who do not achieve the required GPA for direct entry to the Master of Business Analytics (MBusAn). Courses passed for the postgraduate certificate can be reassigned to the 180-point MBusAn provided you meet the minimum GPA entry requirement and the postgraduate certificate has not been awarded. The PGCertBusAn will also serve as an additional exit qualification from the MBusAn for students who are unable to complete the requirements for progression to the advanced courses.
