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

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 ...

MSc Big Data Analytics for Business, 2017

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 MSc 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 ...

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 ...

> 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 ...

Master in Big Data Analytics for Business / 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 ...
