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.

- service designer

- smart service consultant
