RGU<\/a> student Owen shares why he changed his initial course to join the BA (Hons) Business with Data Analytics<\/a> and his experience on his year-long placement. <\/p>\n

A bit about me<\/h2>\n

I am currently a third year Business with Data Analytics student studying at Robert Gordon University. I have recently finished my placement at SLB under the title Compliance Supply Chain Intern.<\/p>\n

Why Data Analytics?<\/h2>\n

When I first began university, I enrolled into the Business with Marketing course. However, after completion of my first year, I found that the marketing side was not my greatest interest. Upon doing more in-depth research into Business roles, I became particularly fascinated in analytical roles like Data and Business Analysts, and decided to switch my course in second year to Business with Data Analytics as I believed it was better suited to those job roles in terms of learning and experience. <\/p>\n

So far in the course I have gained relevant experience in programmes such as Python and Tableau which are both key programmes in data sorting and presenting. Alongside this, I have learned a lot about different types of data and how they can be used differently.<\/p>\n

My experience on placement<\/h2>\n

I began my placement at the end of May 2024 and was scheduled to finish exactly a year on, however my contract was extended for one month. Throughout the placement, I have gained a large amount of experience into supply chain, logistics, finance and data sorting and have been taking on large amounts of workload. <\/p>\n

I would highly recommend attempting to get a placement in third year as, no matter the role, you gain valuable experience in almost all fields of business that can be taken after graduation. People and professional skills are also improved on highly, which will help in later life.<\/p>\n

My post-graduation plans<\/h2>\n

Once I graduate from RGU, I plan to apply to internship jobs that fall under business or data analytics roles as, although my current internship has given me relevant experience in the field, having a year’s experience fully dedicated to it I believe will be very beneficial for my learning and will confirm this is the corporate route I would like to go down. <\/p>\n
