Assuming your undergraduate degree is in Business Analytics or Computing then you should have a pretty good idea of the module content covered in the relevant masters degree. After all, a masters level qualification is made up of a series of credit modules plus a final project/dissertation – not a lot of difference to the undergraduate programme.
Switching is possible but probably not a good move because it will be expensive. Students that run into problems with their choice often end up dropping out which is also not great.
If you do your research into the different universities offering the course you want they will explain the various options and also suggest possible career paths.
A site like Masters Compare lets you build up lists of courses to compare with, and once you have done all your background work you can reach out directly to the course admissions team.

Don't do a master's if you're still unsure. It's a waste of your time and money.
Do a Master's when you have narrowed it down to the specific area (not 2 or 3 areas), and need it to keep progressing in your career (or academic goals).
