Program Overview
Around the globe, data analytics tools, techniques, and a multitude of techniques have provided businesses alarming ways to analyse data and unravel insights. However, the volume and variety of the data have grown exponentially in the past decade owing to the various data sources (social media, e-commerce websites, digital transactions, etc.). Big data analytics has emerged as a clever way to analyse this varied and magnanimous data. This has served as a boon to businesses, as it enables them to rummage informed decisions out of the data pile.
Big Data and business analytics are critical assets for companies seeking to achieve their revenue and growth objectives through data-driven decision making. The MSc in Big Data and Business Analytics programme sought to improve understanding of big data and analytics. Therefore, instead of investing and studying in two programmes—Business Analytics and Big Data—separately, this one programme aims at integrating data at every step of making business decisions.
Big data analytics comprises advanced analytics involving intricate applications of statistical and mathematical concepts in conjunction with advanced algorithms. This upbeat and hands-on approach to business decision-making is transformative because it empowers decision-makers to make informed decisions in order to approach real-time business objectives.
The MSc programme in Big Data and Business Analytics would allow students to gain an understanding of the various data sources and enable them to study, understand, and analyse the data incurred across sources. This programme in big data analytics follows a multi-disciplinary approach at its centre, focusing on prevalent as well as evolving big data tools such as Hadoop and cloud architecture. This programme is everything one would need to make an effective career shift and delve into the world of big data analytics.

My mentor helped me see new perspectives in solving business problems and rightly guided me all along until the completion of my
program.
The experience, training and knowledge I gained was key to improving my personal skills and enriching my professional and training project.
Half of my learning was a result of my mentor helping me to see the contrasts and similarities between what I was studying in
class versus what happened in the real world.
I am working as joint managing director in Aquatek Sanitary Fittings Pvt Ltd. I have learnt a lot about the market flow and it helps
me to understand the need of the market.
The contents and curriculum are at par with the global reputed universities like Oxford and Cambridge. Joining Rushford was the best decision for me.
