BSc Hons Data Analytics

When you join the BSc (Hons) Data Analytics at Strathclyde, you’re stepping into a learning experience that’s as practical as it is academic. It’s not just about lectures—you’ll be building skills you can take straight into the workplace. From day one, you’ll get hands-on with coding, industry-standard software, and real problems that businesses and organisations are facing right now. Supported by the Departments of Mathematics & Statistics and Computer & Information Sciences, you’ll also enjoy modern teaching spaces, excellent computing facilities, and even a dedicated undergraduate common room—a lively hub where study and social life come together.

Here’s how that practical learning takes shape:

Data Analysis Software
You won’t just learn theory—you’ll actively use the same data analysis tools that professionals rely on every day. That means you’ll graduate with skills that give you a head start in your career.

Programming Skills
Coding is at the heart of data analytics, and you’ll be learning industry-recognised languages from the very beginning. By the time you graduate, writing code to solve problems will feel second nature.

Real-Life Problem Projects
Your projects won’t be hypothetical—they’ll often be linked to real businesses and government organisations. This gives you a taste of the kind of data-driven challenges you’ll face in your career and shows employers that you’ve already worked on meaningful, real-world tasks.

Modern Teaching Spaces & Computing Equipment
Strathclyde makes sure you’re learning in an environment designed for the digital age, with access to cutting-edge software and computing setups that reflect what’s used in the industry.

Undergraduate Common Room
It’s not all labs and lectures—your dedicated common room gives you a welcoming place to collaborate, share ideas, or simply relax with fellow students. It’s where a lot of the best learning (and friendships) happen outside the classroom.

University Career Services
At Strathclyde, you won’t just be left to figure things out on your own once you graduate. The Careers Service is there for you throughout your degree and even up to five years afterwards. Whether it’s setting career goals, refining your applications, or connecting with potential employers, you’ll always have personalised support at hand.

Employment Statistics & Salaries
Strathclyde graduates are in high demand—about 92% are either employed or continuing their studies within six months of finishing their degree. For Data Analytics graduates, starting salaries are strong, typically between £27,000 and £30,000 per year (around INR 29.7 to 33 lakh), giving you a solid foundation right from the start of your career.

University–Industry Partnerships
This isn’t just a degree based in theory—you’ll have opportunities to work directly on projects with businesses and government organisations. These experiences let you apply your skills in real-world situations, making you much more career-ready. Plus, the departments teaching the course—Mathematics & Statistics and Computer & Information Sciences—have close links with industry and government bodies, so you’ll be learning from academics who are actively shaping the field.

Accreditation Value
Completing this programme can also make you eligible for GradStat status, a professional accreditation that adds real weight to your CV and sets you apart in statistics and analytics roles.

Graduation Outcomes
By the time you graduate, you’ll be equipped with in-demand skills in data analytics, programming, and statistical modelling. These open doors to exciting careers in technology, finance, social media, retail, public services, and beyond. Employers are actively seeking graduates with this blend of expertise—so you’ll be stepping into a future full of possibilities.
