How our students are driving innovation at PEXA
Melbourne Business School's Master of Business Analytics students collaborated with PEXA during a five-week Analytics Lab, applying Graph Database technology to enhance the company's property exchange platform. Their innovative solutions effectively reduced late property settlements, demonstrating the practical impact of advanced analytics in real-world business scenarios. This hands-on experience exemplifies the program's commitment to immersing students in real-world challenges, preparing them for successful careers in analytics.
