Business Analysis and Technology

Business analysis and technology is a degree at the intersection of organisational management and digital systems, concerned with how businesses use technology to solve problems, improve processes, and create value. Business analysts work across organisations to identify operational challenges, understand requirements, and specify, evaluate, and implement technological solutions that address them. As digital transformation reshapes organisations across every sector, the ability to bridge the gap between business needs and technical capability has become one of the most sought-after competencies in the graduate job market.

At Strathclyde Business School, this four-year, full-time degree develops your understanding of business processes, data analysis, technology management, and the methodologies used to guide organisations through change and technological implementation. You will study business strategy, information systems, data analytics, project management, and organisational behaviour alongside the analytical and problem-solving skills that business analysis requires. Strathclyde Business School is internationally recognised for the quality of its management education, and the programme reflects that reputation for rigorous, practically oriented learning.

A year abroad is available, giving you the opportunity to study business and technology in a different national context. The typical entry tariff of 184 points reflects strong academic expectations.

Business analysis and technology graduates are in high demand across consulting, financial services, technology companies, government, retail, healthcare, and virtually every sector that is navigating digital transformation. Roles include business analyst, data analyst, systems analyst, digital transformation consultant, and technology project manager. The combination of business understanding and technical literacy makes graduates particularly effective in organisations where the gap between strategic intent and technical implementation creates real challenges.

Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study in business, information systems, or management to develop specialist expertise.
