Master of Professional Business Analysis

This is a one year Wellington ICT Graduate School Programme delivered by the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington. This conversion programme has been designed for graduates from a non-information systems background, who want to become business analysts. Graduates will have the technical knowledge and skills in information technology to facilitate change in organisations. They will be able to conduct data and business process analysis and organisation modelling and will have a good knowledge of current modelling tools. They will have good analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, and will be able to operate in environments with high levels of uncertainty. Graduates, once they have acquired sufficient work experience, should be able to obtain the Certified Business Analysis Professional(TM) (CBAP(r)) offered by the International Institute of Business Analysts.
