  • This Master’s program is closely backed up by research: several students are completing their final study project

on themes from the L@RIS laboratory, followed and supported by members of the laboratory (PhD students and research professors);

  • Being familiar with the tools used in industry dedicated to data mining, operational research and Business Intelligence gives the students an advantage in their employability after graduation;
  • Industrial partnerships with companies strongly involved in Big Data are an integral part of this program:

– SAS via the academic program and a ‘chaired’entreprise’ (business chair), allowing our students access to Business Intelligence modules such as Enterprise Miner (data mining) and SAS-OR (in operational research);

– SAP via our University Alliance Program, enabling our students’ access to the latest versions of BI modules from SAP, such as SAP-BW and SAP-Business Objects.

Internship

Internships will be supervised by a university professor. A minimum of 3 meetings will take place between the trainee, the school representative and the person in charge of the company/research laboratory. Each meeting will result in a professional presentation of the trainee, which will lead to an assessment. In addition to these meetings, the student will be required to write an internship report which will contain the following:

  • A presentation of the company/laboratory;
  • A presentation of the activities and goals;
  • An analysis and synthesis of the work undertaken;
  • A personal analysis of the internship: what worked and what did not work.

This internship will last a minimum of 22 weeks.

Career objectives

The growing and larger demand in these domains offers graduates from this Master’s course numerous and diverse job opportunities –in areas linked to decision support- such as Data Scientists, Consulting Engineers, Research and Development Experts, Tool Design Engineers, BI/Business Analytics Solutions Providers, or simply Users of Business Intelligence tools. Graduates who wish to specialize in the area of research can start a career in both public and private research centers, find a position as researchers in Higher Education or prepare for additional education at the doctoral level.

What our students say

“My name is Anh Thu, and I am from Vietnam. Since high school, I always had great interest in Mathematics. The idea of being an entrepreneur in the future and the desire of taking some applied mathematics courses drove me to look for a quality Bachelor’s program for my studies, as well as for my future career development. After doing some research, Data science appeared the most suitable choice for me. The program offered by CY Tech suited my expectations: business knowledge, applied mathematics, some relevant computer courses, and design, are all incorporated in this program. I enrolled in the Bachelor’s Program in September 2019, and I must say, I am very satisfied with the program’s content, delivered by a well-prepared faculty, and in a learning environment that is well equipped on campus.”
