Key Summary
Big Data can provide important insights into business processes and uncover opportunities to cut costs and increase efficiency. Furthermore, data analytics enables organisations to effectively target specific audiences and to adapt product characteristics based on customer preferences. It can also be used to improve the decision-making process.
Yet, despite the immense potential of Big Data, many companies are blind to the value of the data they create. It is time for that to change and our Data Science program equips you with the skills to drive this change.
What You Will Gain
Our interdisciplinary master's program is designed to cover both the theoretical and the practical. We use a combination of face-to-face workshops, group activities, and hands-on exercises to cover everything from the basics of data analysis to such specific skills as:
- Scalable data collection
- Methods of data analysis
- Data capture
- Data storage
- Transferring data
- Visualising data
- Data pricing
- Data protection
The program also includes ample opportunities to acquire business and entrepreneurial skills and apply your new skills and knowledge towards bringing a real innovative solution to the market and developing a successful business model.
How is the Program Structured?
All EIT Digital Master School programs follow the same scheme:
- Students study one year at an ‘entry’ university and one year at an ‘exit’ university, both of which are located at an EIT Digital hot spot.
- The first year is similar at all entry points, with a focus on basic courses that lay the foundation for the chosen technical program. Students are also introduced to business and management during this first year. During the second semester, a design project is combined with business development exercises to demonstrate how technology can be transformed into a successful business. Students are also taught how to prepare and present a convincing business plan. Students have the option to take elective courses.
- In between the first year and the second year, our summer school program addresses business opportunities within a socially relevant theme.
- The second year offers a specialisation and a graduation project. The graduation project includes an internship at a company or a research institute and cumulates with a Master thesis having a strong innovation and entrepreneurship dimension.
- Graduates receive degrees from the two universities and a certificate awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
