Students acquire solid computational and statistical skills to tackle real business problems, exploring a variety of industry-standard tools (such as R, SAS and Python); they will also be offered the opportunity to acquire the «Machine Learning with SAS Viya» certification.

The Master relies on an extensive network of dedicated partner companies and institutions which provide highly professional teaching, real-world case studies and mentoring.  

Our partner companies offer a variety of internship opportunities. These are introduced during a dedicated one-day meeting at the beginning of the second term of the Master programme where companies’ projects are matched with students’ interests and talents.  An internship usually lasts from four and up to six months, and represents a great way to enhance student’s learning, technical skills, as well as team working. If successfully completed, the internship may lead to a job offer; it also represents a valuable experience when searching for a job.
