In today’s data-driven world, the ability to critically interpret, analyse, and leverage data is a competitive advantage. This course equips future business leaders, analysts, and decision-makers with the fundamental tools necessary to drive strategic insights and evidence-based decisions. Through hands-on application, students will develop a strong foundation in data analysis, recognising statistical pitfalls, and applying best practices to real-world business challenges. As the volume of information continues to grow, so does the risk of misinformation—students will learn to detect, challenge, and counteract misleading statistics in business, media, and policy, ensuring they become sophisticated consumers and communicators of data.
