When I was 18 I decided to follow a study path that finally led me to work in Financial and Taxation industry for KPMG. However, at the beginning of 2015, I decided to leave my job to pursue the thing I really love. It was at this moment that I discovered the Master in Big Data program at IÉSEG. I decided to follow this Master of Science as it is well-designed, very practical and fits perfectly with my background and expectations. Many of the courses such as “Business Analytics Tools” or  “Descriptive & Pre ...
