Business Analytics with Finance

Business analytics with finance is a programme that combines the quantitative and data-driven methods of analytics with the financial theory and practice needed to understand how organisations manage money, value assets, and make investment decisions. Business analytics is concerned with turning data into insight and decision-relevant information, using statistical methods, modelling, visualisation, and increasingly machine learning. Finance provides the conceptual and technical frameworks for understanding financial markets, corporate valuation, risk management, and the financial reporting that drives commercial decisions.

At Bayes Business School, part of City St George's, University of London, this three-year full-time programme is taught within one of Europe's leading business schools, with a strong tradition in finance and quantitative business methods. You will develop skills in programming, statistical analysis, data visualisation, and financial modelling, learning to apply these to real business and financial problems. The City location gives the programme exceptional proximity to London's financial and technology sectors, and Bayes's industry connections provide access to guest speakers, live case studies, and placement networks that support graduate outcomes.

Graduates are in strong demand in financial services, banking, investment management, financial consultancy, corporate finance, risk management, and the data and analytics functions of major organisations across all industries. Roles combining quantitative analytical skills and financial knowledge are among the most highly compensated in the graduate labour market. Professional qualifications in finance and investment, including those offered by the CFA Institute, are accessible to graduates and commonly pursued.

Further study in finance, business analytics, data science, or related fields is open to graduates who wish to specialise further.
