COURSE DESCRIPTION
Summary
The multidisciplinary Bachelor of Business Analytics – developed and refined in consultation with industry – will provide you with skills in data visualisation, and statistical and analytical tools. You’ll also gain a solid understanding of the context of organisational problems from managerial, financial and human perspectives, so you can make informed and insightful decisions. Innovative in its approach to understanding contemporary social, urban and environmental issues in urban and regional planning, the Bachelor of Planning focuses on recognising the social and cultural diversity of places, and the importance of cross-cultural approaches to research, plan-making and impact assessment. It will not only prepare you for a career in planning in which you have the power to shape more liveable and sustainable futures, but will also give you a distinctive edge among your peers.
