Benefit from RMIT Online's practical and industry-based perspective

Gain technical and communication skills infused with RMIT's excellence in technology, design and innovation.

Gain influence at the executive level

Learn to engage and influence executive stakeholders and to advocate for the value of data, analytics and AI across organisations.

Be in demand as the link between data, analytics, AI and business strategy

This unique, first-to-market program will give you the highly sought-after technical and communication skills to lead analytics-centred teams and/or functions to drive business solutions.

Be the critical link between data, AI and business strategy

Successful business strategies rely on understanding data and analytics, with AI playing an increasingly pivotal role.

However, not everyone is “AI-literate,” and without leaders who can translate data and AI insights into business value, even the most capable teams may struggle to gain traction with executives or drive innovation.

What’s needed is a rare type of leader who can blend business acumen, technical and communication skills, advocate for data, analytics and AI at the executive level and drive digital strategy.

RMIT Online’s Master of Business Analytics and AI Strategy is designed to address this gap, empowering professionals to become AI and data-literate leaders who can integrate cutting-edge analytics with business strategy.
