No, professional work experience or internships are not always required to apply for a master's in business analytics or related courses. Many universities in the USA and UK accept students directly after their undergraduate studies.

However, some programs may prefer or recommend relevant experience. Having internships or part-time work can strengthen your application and provide practical skills, but it is not mandatory for most universities.
