This programme's director is Frederic Bossard.
This MSc is a full-time programme with eight months of courses followed by work experience or a research project.
This programme was conceived by top executives in the industry who noticed the fast increase in demand (and the severe shortage in supply) of graduates with proper understanding of the digital transformation of the global labour market.
Programme outline
The knowledge courses encompass traditional business disciplines, such as strategy, marketing,
economics, and information systems, with an emphasis on the nature of digital transformation
and its impact on analysis and decision-making.
In addition to traditional business subjects, the
programme also includes skills courses in big data analytics and business statistics to equip
students with the necessary tools for collecting and analysing data in a digital environment.
Students can acquire certifications, such as Agile and Microsoft Power Platform in order to learn
new technologies, skills, and abilities and gain a competitive edge. Students do group projects to
apply their studies to real-world, data-intensive cases in AI-oriented companies.
