This year, Imperial College Business School is a new entrant in second place, making it the best business analytics program in Europe. Program director Professor Kalyan Talluri said their program does everything it can to prepare graduates for the working world. He said: “We train our graduates to be highly self-sufficient and productive from day one – it’s a fundamental element of our program’s design.  Plus we place a huge emphasis on communication, and creating narratives from data and analytical analysis – which I believe is critical for analytics to make an impact within the organization.”

In third place is the University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business. A spokesperson for the school said: “Amid the recent explosive growth of analytics in academia, what sets our program apart is our insistence on technically-trained quantitative analysts who can communicate their expertise to others. We train our students on both the technical aspects of being an analyst as well as the ability to be a good story teller to the decision maker.”
