HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MSc PROGRAMME IN DATA ANALYTICS FOR BUSINESS
To provide both technical expertise and advanced managerial skills, the curriculum covers all aspects of management: digital corporate strategy, ethical issues, legal aspects, project management and design thinking. Real-life case studies are given particular importance in the fields of finance, marketing and logistics, all of which future managers will be expected to deal with.
