About the programme

With our MSc in People Analytics, you will learn how to assess workplace behaviours and connect them to your organisation’s wider strategy.

This course combines different specialisms that will help you see how variables from different areas of an organisation are interrelated. You will get an advanced understanding of Organisational Behaviour (OB), Human Resource Management (HRM), HR Data Analytics, and Psychometrics.

You will learn to develop and apply a variety of psychological and statistical tools, including specialist software and psychometric instruments, within the workplace. You will be trained in quantitative and qualitative research methods so that you can make more strategic and data-informed decisions.

You will also become skilled in how to interpret and visualise HR data, so that you can explain your insights to your organisation’s key decision-makers and make suggestions for improving performance.

Organisations in all sectors are looking to develop their analytics capabilities. Whether your background is in HR, marketing or another function, this MSc will give you the data literacy and analytics skills that organisations need right now to become more effective.

Future prospects

Individuals with data analytics skills are in high demand in the labour market. Research conducted by Deloitte has found that while 71% percent of companies view people analytics as a high priority need, only 8% report having usable data.

Companies increasingly understand that to become more effective, they need data literate and analytically savvy staff within their businesses.

On completion of this MSc, you’ll possess expert knowledge of both quantitative and qualitative research methods to drive more strategic, data-informed decisions around individual and organisational behaviours.

You can look forward to demonstrating your expertise by using advanced techniques from statistics, machine learning, and psychometrics. You’ll be able to process and analyse data sets, create data analysis plans to maximise performance, and communicate your work clearly and effectively.

The capabilities and confidence that you can expect to gain during your time with us will help you become a valued and highly employable data science professional.
