Overview

The Master in Data Analytics (lectured in English) at University of Porto aims to develop the relevant skills for those playing a prominent role in areas using techniques of data analysis and knowledge extraction from databases.

Decision-making processes within companies and other organizations rely heavily on the knowledge that decision makers have about the reality where the company acts (markets, customers, producers, etc.). Much of this knowledge can be drawn from the data resulting from a normal business activity that is continuously accumulated by transactional information systems. The efficient and effective processing of such data for actionable knowledge might result in better performance of the organization by exploring mainly data analysis techniques. These include various statistical and data mining (data exploration) techniques, specifically targeted for the extraction of actionable knowledge from large volumes of existing data.

All that knowledge serves, ultimately, to support decision making. According to a recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute, data mining will drive the next wave of innovation.
