Business Analysis and Technology and Human Resource Management

Business analysis, technology, and human resource management together form a combination that reflects the way modern organisations actually operate: data-driven, technology-enabled, and fundamentally dependent on the people who make up the workforce. Business analysis applies advanced quantitative and analytical methods to organisational problems, helping managers make better decisions in complex, information-rich environments. Technology is the infrastructure and capability through which those decisions are implemented.

Human resource management provides the framework for attracting, developing, and retaining the people who use technology and implement strategy. Understanding all three together gives you an unusually complete picture of how organisations work and change.

At the University of Strathclyde Business School, this four-year full-time degree develops your expertise across all three strands in an integrated way. You will study analytical methods alongside the organisational and technological frameworks in which they are applied, and you will understand HRM not simply as an administrative function but as a strategic discipline that shapes how organisations create value through their people. A year abroad is built into the programme, giving you an international perspective on how businesses operate across different economic and cultural environments.

Strathclyde Business School is a well-regarded international institution with strong industry connections and a research-active faculty.

Graduates from this kind of programme are well placed for careers at the intersection of technology, data, and people. Business analyst, HR business partner, people analytics specialist, organisational development consultant, and change management roles are all natural destinations. The combination of technical and human dimensions also prepares graduates for broader management roles in organisations undergoing digital transformation, where the ability to think analytically while also leading people through change is genuinely valued.

Postgraduate study in HR, business analytics, or management is a natural next step. The typical entry tariff is 216 points.
