They are totally different, both in terms of skill sets and opportunities.

I believe Data Analytics is growing a lot. If you are strong at and enjoy both maths and the technical side, I'd suggest the Data Analytics route - simply because I believe it's a more unique skill set and also in demand in other technical areas.

Is it true that IS can lead to Project Management roles ? if so what are the progression opportunities available for Data Analytic beside becoming Senior Data Analyst.

I think I would make a decision when I do the core database subject since I already did the IS subject which I actually enjoy.But I do have a keen interest in Analytics since it can compliments my finance degree very well (Financial Market Analyst or something similar). In the summer I did try a bit SQL it was interesting but a bit complicated (programming isn't really my forte).
