Business Analytics

Master's programme for working professionals (MSc)

Business Analytics

Big Data, Data Science, Machine Learning, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things - buzzwords that are becoming increasingly common in companies, but for which there is often a lack of experts. Analysing constantly growing volumes of data using state-of-the-art technologies, formulating the resulting questions for companies and the trend-setting interpretation of such large amounts of data are now more than ever the skills of specialists in demand. The extra-occupational master's programme in Business Analytics teaches you these skills based on its well thought-out curricular concept in terms of content and didactics.

 

More about the course

The study/degree programme comprises modules from the fields of First choice, Mathematics and Computer Science. In addition to topics such as data mining, machine learning and predictive methods through to strategic and business process management for the development of new business models, you will acquire the tools and in-depth technical and business knowledge that will be applied and deepened in practical exercises in the modules of the study/degree programme.

The School of Advanced Professional Studies (SAPS) is the joint centre for continuing academic education at Ulm University and Ulm University of Applied Sciences.

SAPS offers paid part-time master's programmes and microcredentials (certificate courses) in a blended learning format to optimally support part-time study.

The following qualifications can be obtained at SAPS: Microcredential, Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS), Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) and Master of Science.

Our modern way of providing you with continuing education is blended learning, which combines didactically meaningful face-to-face events - which also serve as networking opportunities - with modern forms of e-learning. Our virtual desk with everything you need for learning is available to you online. Our microcredentials have a maximum of 20% synchronised events, which take place either at Ulm University or online.

What students and graduates of UUlm have to say

Svetlana Hofmann, Dipl.-Math. (FH), Actuary (DAV)
What particularly impressed me about the part-time Business Analytics programme offered by SAPS was the high degree of flexibility with regard to the possible degrees (M.Sc., DAS, certificate) and the high proportion of e-learning. This allows me to pursue my studies despite being far away from the university and my main job. I was already prepared for a similar concept through my continuing professional education as an actuary (DAV), so it was easy to start the degree programme.
Another reason for choosing the Business Analytics degree programme was the combination of modules, which are evenly distributed between Computer Science, Mathematics and First choice. This allows Inspection into all relevant subject areas without too much specialisation.
So far, the course has given me a lot of new specialist knowledge, which I can already use in my current position in many tasks and thus advance my work. In the future, I hope to gain further professional development from the programme. As Business Analytics is highly future-oriented in the course of digitalisation, the job prospects are also very good.
