Students who choose the Marketing & Communication pathway of the BBA degree, and the specialisation in Business Analytics are often interested in the technology and information strategies, especially in the field of digitalisation, marketing & sales, that supports companies and organisations. It is a challenging programme and fully packed with business, marketing and information data projects.
All Bachelor of Business Administration students complete a series of broad marketing and information management modules, alongside modules in finance and organisation management. Those students who choose the pathway MCI with the specialisation in Data Analytics are introduced to the aspects of technology and data analysis that will affect the success of marketing and information strategies of the company or organisation.
Marketing Communication & Information (MCI) comprises a combination of business marketing strategies, branding and the way that businesses and organisations promote themselves to the outside world. It is the business of creating a constant image that will promote the company, its ideals and its products. Marketing & Communication penetrates deeper than just the production of printed or online material, it deals with the way an organisation communicates its messages, both internally and externally.
Business Administrators dealing with the Marketing & Communication strategies of a company are constantly looking at the systems in place, at the human resources and the way in which they are managed, at the supply chain and at the sales pipeline – all areas affected directly by the marketing and communication strategy.
Marketing & Communication deals with branding, imaging, house style, and also with crisis management, downsizing and re-inventing – Marketing & Communication specialists are at the forefront of Business Administration!
The bachelor of business administration MCI pathway, with specialisation in Business Analytics is aimed at developing the skills and competencies that an analyst working in the communications department or the ICT department of a company or organisation requires.
Alongside the overall MCI subjects such as 'Mass Communication', 'Public Relations' and 'Company Branding', the specialisation modules have a focus on Business Analytics and include subjects such as 'Introduction to Data Management & Processing' and 'Managing & Visualizing Data'.
In the Final Year students complement the core of their bachelor with strategic subjects such as 'Modelling for Business Analytics' & 'Predictive Analytics'.
Business Analytics specialisation students in the MCI pathway will complete their work experience, projects and graduation assignment within the field of business analytics for companies and organisations!
All graduates of the BBA MCI pathway are able to continue their studies with a Master of Science programme, such as the MBM in Digital Marketing & Communication. Wittenborg graduates always receive a €3,000 scholarship for the Wittenborg MSc programmes.
