Students will gain robust statistical, computational and business skills essential for addressing real-world business challenges. The Master's curriculum is built around eight core courses, comprising lectures, labs, and seminars. These courses span diverse fields including database systems and programming, statistics, text and web mining, data analytics, and machine learning. By exploring a range of industry-standard tools such as R, SAS, and Python, students will develop proficiency in addressing real business issues.
