Portugal

Before coming to IÉSEG I completed a Bachelor in International Business Management in the Netherlands and had been working for a start-up in my home country (Portugal).

I decided that I needed to acquire in-depth knowledge in an area of business that interested me: big data analytics. I chose IÉSEG because of its reputation and the opportunity to study in English, but also because this Master would enable me to learn how to apply big data analytics to different business situations.

In addition to our academic courses, we also benefit from the rich exchanges with the other international participants on the program. Another advantage has been the support we receive for our future career, which includes coaching; career fairs and events that promote interaction with renowned companies. After finishing the program, I will be looking to take up a Data Science position for an international company.

Before I came to IÉSEG, I was working as an Information Analyst at Tecnoquimicas S.A., one of Colombia’s leading pharmaceutical and consumer goods companies. I worked in the IT department for 4 years, leading change management projects, constructing KPIs for measuring and improving the services, guaranteeing IT governance and supervising the department’s budget.

I was particularly attracted by the “for business” approach of this program, as many of the other data analytics programs I found were more technical. Since I come from a business background, it seemed like a perfect fit for me given my previous experience.

The thing I have enjoyed the most about studying at IÉSEG is the exchange of ideas that comes from a multicultural environment. I think this was key for our experience.

In terms of courses, I really appreciated the courses in predictive analytics and those that taught us to code in diverse languages like R, Python and SQL.

United Kingdom

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 about their operations and customers. I wanted to understand and learn to use the latest tools available, and acquire the technical, practical skills to tackle contemporary business challenges. Usefully, IÉSEG additionally provides courses such as project management, with a focus on scheduling, and support in areas such as career development.

At the same time, the class environment was genuinely enjoyable and the year was a valuable and rewarding experience at a personal level.

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 forward business presentations which I found to be extremely useful in making presentations to management and customer teams.

The IÉSEG style of teaching acknowledges students as adults and encourages independent learning, paving the way for the working world, making us confident in dealing with issues as they arise.

> Why did you choose the program you are in?

I chose IÉSEG because of its unique Big Data Analytics program: a combination of business and programming. This program is for business professionals who want to diversify their skills and stay current with the programming trends impacting the industry, but who don’t need to be specialists in all aspects of computer engineering, such as IT. An important strength of this program is the fact that it is constantly evolving to stay current with industry trends and to provide students with relevant professional experience.

> Why did you choose IÉSEG for your postgraduate studies?

IÉSEG had the perfect program for my needs in addition to a staff that truly cares. During the application process, the recruitment coordinators were very sincere and made me feel like I would be more than just a number at the school. After almost a year here, I have to say that I still have the same impression. The staff are very warm and welcoming. They are also very attentive to any concerns that we might have. IÉSEG has definitely made a positive impact in my life but, thanks to the responsive nature of the staff, I believe that I am also making a positive impact in IÉSEG.
