Yes, your freelance and internship experience in design and coding will strengthen your application for a Master's in Business Analytics or Data Analytics.

These programs value practical skills in coding, data handling, and problem-solving, which your experience demonstrates. However, most universities also expect a strong foundation in quantitative subjects like mathematics, statistics, or computer science.

With your background in Game Design and coding, highlight any coursework or projects involving quantitative analysis or data visualization. Your 11 months of work experience will also be valuable, especially if it relates to analytics or programming.

If you need to fill gaps in statistics or data analysis, consider taking additional courses.
