Overview
Business Intelligence and Business Analytics have now become key elements of all companies.
The objective of this Master’s program is to train future specialists in Information Systems and Decision Support. The program includes solid content in mathematics- and uses a wide range of computer-based tools, which allows students to deal with real problems, analyze their complexity and bring efficient algorithmic and architectural solutions. Big Data is the ultimate game changer.
The targeted applications concern optimizing the processing of large amounts of data (known as Big Data), logistics, industrial automation, but above all it’s the development of BI Systems architecture. These applications play a major role in most business domains such as logistics, production, finance, marketing, client relation management systems.
The need for trained engineering specialists in these domains is constantly growing and this Master’s program answers this emerging need.

Career opportunities
A large number of companies need to control BI Systems in order to monitor their activities. Both public and private organizations have to tackle more and more constraints which include new and stricter rules & regulations. Competition is tougher and needs for multiple optimizations are essential for good business practices.
The specialists in this area are looking for experts in the domains of analytics, such as statistics, prediction, data mining, operational research in order to comply with the issues and needs of large companies in areas such as risk, fraud, customer relations and marketing.
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.
