| The rise of data has created an unprecedented demand for high-quality talent |
Companies in the banking, retail, logistics, and technology sectors are urgently recruiting for roles like data analysts, business intelligence specialists, and machine learning engineers.
A McKinsey study indicates that companies effectively using data in their business strategies can achieve up to 6 per cent annual profit growth, strengthen their competitive position, and significantly reduce risks.
This explains why data science and business analytics consistently lead as ‘hot’ industries.
In business analysis, data is the core foundation, providing objective and comprehensive evidence for managers to make decisions.
Data is the guiding compass for effective business analysis, from understanding customer behaviour and optimising operations, to predicting market trends and identifying new growth opportunities.
The rise of data has created an unprecedented demand for high-quality talent. From tech giants and financial corporations to leading healthcare organisations, significant investments are being made in data utilisation.
Meanwhile, a wave of dynamic startups is thriving by leveraging data analytics to drive growth, creating a vibrant and highly competitive job market.
In Vietnam, one of the most reputable programmes meeting market demands is the bachelor of science in data science and business analytics offered by the British University Vietnam (BUV).
The degree is awarded by the University of London and developed with rigorous academic quality assurance by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), a member of the University of London (UoL).

| BUV has recently been awarded as ‘International Partner’ of the University of London |
LSE’s expertise ensures the programme’s international-standard academic quality and teaching, one of the world’s top institutions for economics and social sciences, ranked fourth in the UK and sixth globally.
LSE boasts an exceptional faculty, cutting-edge research, and alumni including heads of state and Nobel laureates.
Unlike other international programmes, UoL degrees require students to study at a recognised teaching centre to maintain strict quality standards.
Around 15,000 students worldwide are enrolled in these programmes, and BUV is the only international partner in Vietnam delivering LSE/UoL programmes.
LSE’s involvement also opens opportunities for students to pursue higher degrees, such as a master’s or PhD, at LSE or other top global universities.

| Students benefit from LSE’s curriculum, equivalent to UK standards, and a beautiful 5-star campus environment |
Mark Wheaton, acting dean at BUV, noted, “BUV’s bachelor’s in data science and business analytics is designed to meet the growing demand for data professionals.
We deliver a high-quality, practical, and innovative programme in partnership with the London School of Economics and Political Science. Our graduates are equipped with strong skills to excel in their careers and integrate into the global economy.”
Thus, alongside studying in a QS 5-star rated environment, as evaluated by the global education ranking organisation Quacquarelli Symonds (UK), students benefit from LSE’s curriculum, equivalent to UK standards.
This equips them with robust professional skills, preparing them to enter the global job market upon graduation seamlessly.
BUV is Vietnam’s first QS 5-star university and the first in Vietnam and ASEAN accredited by QAA, the UK’s prestigious higher education quality assurance agency.
BUV’s well-designed programmes stay current with industry trends, combining theory and practice to fully ensure graduate employability or further study within three months of graduation.
