Specialized Training for Comprehensive Data Analysts
Data analysis, when applied to business, is a burgeoning discipline that emerges from the intersection of fields such as mathematics, statistics, and computer science. This rapidly evolving field necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, amalgamating knowledge scattered across various thematic areas. It is fundamentally based on the transformative impact that contemporary digital technologies are having on all facets of a business.
This Master's degree aims to elucidate how data is converted into pertinent and valuable information. It equips students with both theoretical and practical knowledge needed to delineate the technological and corporate processes essential for extracting economic and business value from information. This discipline unifies a set of foundational principles that facilitate and guide the extraction of information and knowledge from data. These principles draw from diverse fields, including mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and data mining. This approach acknowledges the significance of 'Big Data' challenges, which have profound implications across various societal and business domains.
At NBTS, we recognize the functional and strategic importance of data-driven decision-making on the performance of companies and organizations across all sectors of international economic activity. This Master's program enables you to acquire, over an intense year of study and applied work, the technical knowledge, work dynamics, and practical experience necessary to boost your professional career and enhance corporate performance in the international environment.
The program is designed to prepare graduates in their initial stages for their roles as data analysts. They will be responsible for extracting knowledge and designing products based on corporate and sector information through exploration, creation, and experimentation with models and visualizations. This process necessitates a blend of statistical, mathematical, and programming techniques. Therefore, an analyst must possess the ability to organize data and transform it into intelligent information that can facilitate predictive decision-making.
