Notes

The curriculum is flexible to encourage students to pursue their interests.

For instance, two broad study tracks are:
i) Data science method and
ii) Applied business analytics.

For track i) the recommended choices are:

  • Bayesian modelling
  • Stochastic processes and optimization for machine learning
  • Empirical economics or Data visualization and text mining

For track ii) the recommended choices are:

  • New venture development and data-driven strategy
  • Financial markets and institutions
  • Marketing analytics or Data visualization and text mining
The Master of Science in Data analytics for business opens up several career opportunities.
