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 & ...

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 ...

In addition to our academic courses, we also benefit from the rich exchanges with the other international participants on the program. Another ...

Grande École Program and Double Degree in Big Data Analytics for Busines / 2020

Why did you choose IÉSEG? After my baccalaureate, I didn't really know what I wanted to study or what career I wanted to pursue. Having skipped a grade, I needed more time to figure out what I liked and where I wanted to go. A friend of mine had gone to business school, which inspired me to go to various school fairs and open days to learn more. After taking several entrance exams, I chose IÉSEG for its academic excellence and international outlook. I liked the idea of being able to follow a fairly generalist path for the first two years and specialize afterwards. Studying in Lille also meant I could go off and live on my own ...

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 ...
