MSc Big Data Analytics for Business

When I applied to IÉSEG, I was working as a middle manager in the corporate strategy division of a local government organization in London, focusing on performance management and using business intelligence to inform corporate and service planning. Of all the courses that I researched, IÉSEG’s courses most closely matched my ideal specification, in particular by focusing on developing the technical skills that are in greatest demand by employers in today’s business environment. My specific aim was to learn how to make sense of and derive business intelligence from the increasing amounts of data that businesses hold ...

MSc in Big Data Analytics for Business, 2016

I have always enjoyed and been passionate about computing, and programming languages, ever since I was child. 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 & ...

MSc Big Data Analytics for Business Alumna

Alumna, 2017 Many of the courses at IÉSEG make use of project work. Throughout the program, we got to work in groups made up of people with different backgrounds and from different parts of the world. For my current job as a data analyst in a start-up in Paris that focuses on end-to-end payment solutions for Marketplaces, Crowdfunding and Fintech platforms, the international dimension is quite important. I can appreciate better the perspectives of my colleagues who are from the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands (and of course France) and that has enhanced my work environment and my career. Courses at IÉSEG taught me to put ...

Master in Big Data Analytics for Business / Promo 2019

Before joining IÉSEG I was working as a Quality and Environmental Manager while studying part-time to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Business Engineering. I decided to pursue my studies at IÉSEG first because I wanted to study in France to improve my French. I also wanted to do a program related to Data Science as the skills taught in this field seemed valuable to me whatever career path I would choose after my studies, and finally, I wanted to study in an international environment. The fact that we had a small and international class was very valuable. This was not only the basis for interesting discussions but it also ...

Master in Big Data Analytics for Business / Promo 2019

I started my studies with a general engineering degree in computer science and electronics. As soon as I graduated, I chose to deepen my knowledge and skills by joining a Master focused on data science or data analysis, to have a better understanding of the business issues behind the projects I could come across later, and at the same time be more legitimate and efficient. The duration of the program also motivated my choice, especially in comparison with equivalent Parisian programs. The fact that the Master in Big Data Analytics for Business is very international was also very important, because it not only gave me the ...
