Course description
The amount of data available to companies is growing rapidly. On the Master's in Big Data and Business Analytics, you will learn how to harness this data to establish new business areas.

In specialist courses, we build a theoretical framework that you can apply directly in context. Each semester, we dive into case studies, which become larger and more complex as the course progresses. This hands-on approach ensures you can apply what you learn in real-world scenarios. Our program is designed to equip you with the skills needed to navigate the data-driven landscape confidently. Join us to transform data into actionable insights and drive business innovation.
