Overview

The key aim of the teaching in this   Data Science for Business Joint Degree with Ecole Polytechnique from  HEC Paris is to provide students with the tools needed to solve real problems, using structured and unstructured data masses, teaching them to ask the ‘right’ questions (both from statistics and ‘business’ perspectives) and to use the appropriate mathematical and IT tools to answer these questions.

Students will be equipped to shift constantly from data to knowledge, from knowledge to strategic decision, and from strategic decision to operational business implementations.

All these shifts carry with them numerous challenges that each require an interdisciplinary approach involving mathematics, IT, business strategy, and management skills.

‘Data science’ is based on the statistical processing of information (Statistics / Numerical statistics and Machine learning).

A wide range of statistical methods will be explored throughout the program, along with methods derived from applied mathematics.

The program aims to sharpen students’ understanding of how these methods link basic, essential theories that play a considerable role in practice.
