Even ‘traditional’ sectors of business have become data-rich – and such businesses need people who can find the business benefits in digital applications and technologies. Think of supermarkets with their abundance of data, or logistics and its dependence on routing and timing information.
This specialisation in our one-year (12 month) full-time MScBA study programme teaches you to understand, solve and communicate operational, tactical and strategic challenges from data in organisations. What these challenges have in common is their complexity. They need advanced analytics – but the results can be extremely valuable for business. You will find the causal relationships when you tackle real-life business problems in the business world.
After completing your core courses, you can choose from electives such as Analysing Digital Footprints, Supply Chain Analytics or Fintech: Business Models and Applications, before writing your thesis.

After my business bachelor, a business analysis internship at Amazon (Luxembourg) and working as a web developer at Accenture (Bulgaria), it was time for me to combine my business and technical knowledge, and extend it even further with the MSc in Business Analytics & Management at RSM.
