Business Analysis and Technology and Mathematics and Statistics

About this programme

Graduate outcomes: Strathclyde ranked joint 1st in Scotland HESA Graduate Outcomes results 2026 Business analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions while technology is at the heart of all modern business. Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology. Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. They’re also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues. This joint degree bridges the gap between business analysis & technology, mathematics and statistics. Our course emphasises how maths can be used to solve practical problems. Statistics can be used to explore and explain the uncertain world we live in. You’ll develop mathematical and statistical expertise at the same time as broadening your skills in the largest Business School in Scotland (and one of the largest in Europe). Modern business is too complex to be covered by a single subject: modern managers need to have a broad outlook. You'll follow a broad-based Year 1 curriculum which will introduce you to a wide range of business disciplines, alongside the Business School’s core modules for business knowledge and skills (the Management Development Programme ), and academic skills support. This provides you with the opportunity to try new subjects, some of which you won’t have experienced at school or college. At the beginning of Year 2, you choose two subjects to continue studying in Years 2 and 3, plus further MDP modules in Years 2 and 3.
