About

Do you look at a mountain of data and see an ocean of opportunity? Can you look at innovation from both a technical and commercial point of view? And can you see yourself using data and new technologies to create smart service innovations? Then you should consider getting a master’s in Business Intelligence and Smart Services at Maastricht University.  

Overview

You’ll study service design, business intelligence, and business analytics, directly applying the knowledge you gain to a real-life company project. When you graduate, you'll have a wide variety of career options available to you. You could work, for instance, as a service designer, business intelligence consultant or big data architect. The types of organisations you could end up working in are equally varied, as companies, governments and research organisations are all looking for people like you.

Why this programme? 

The big data revolution is having an enormous impact on society as a whole, as well as on organisations and individuals. The data explosion is a tremendous source of new opportunities for companies. It enables them to make better, more customer-oriented, more targeted, more cost-efficient decisions. Business intelligence specialists have therefore become an essential asset to any company and any public institution.

In addition, companies have started to develop so-called smart services: product and service innovations that directly capitalise on data and technology, offering added value to customers. New business models centred on the development of smart services are being introduced to meet the growing demand. As a master’s student in Business Intelligence and Smart Services at Maastricht University, you’ll learn how to analyse big data, make business decisions in data-rich environments and design data-driven smart services.

Career

Big data is a rapidly growing field, and your career perspectives look equally promising. You’ll be able to find work at large companies, governmental agencies, policymaking institutes and research institutes.

You’ll also be able to pursue many different positions, including:

  • service designer
  • service engineer
  • smart service consultant
  • service manager
  • service delivery manager
  • business intelligence consultant

Your experience with formulating and analysing data-driven research questions will also be valuable if you choose to pursue a PhD.
