The Bachelor’s in Data Science & Business Analytics is designed by the LSE, awarded by the University of London and taught in small-class at Forward College campuses in 3 different European capitals.

Forward College Bachelor’s tuition programme includes:

100% small group teaching (on average 15 students per class)
Weekly one-on-one tutoring for individualised feedback and guidance
Frequent evaluations to track your progress throughout the year and ensure your success at the final exams
Induction programme where you will better understand your learning style and adopt the most relevant learning methods for you

Conduct data analysis and draw actional conclusions from computer output
Use complex mathematical and statistical models to tackle real-world problems
Navigate the intersection of business, management and data.

With some analysts predicting a global shortage of data scientists lasting for the next 10 years, graduates from these programmes will be in demand from companies in fields from finance and e-commerce, to health, sport and retail. Students will also gain the knowledge and skills they need to progress in postgraduate study. The programme balances methodology and application, providing the training needed for employment in numerous fields as a data scientist, analyst or similar. Students will gain the ability to think critically and independently and develop a range of skills and knowledge that marks them out from the crowd.
