It depends. Most MSc Business Analytics programs prefer applicants with a strong background in quantitative subjects, but a technical or pure science degree is not always mandatory.

- Many universities accept degrees in economics, business, engineering, or related fields if you have strong numeracy and statistical skills.
- Some institutions specifically require coursework in mathematics, statistics, or similar quantitative subjects.
- Work experience or relevant coursework can sometimes compensate for a non-technical background.

Check each university’s specific requirements, as they vary and may change.
