What it is

You learn to collect, manage and analyse data with current analytics tools, and to turn the results into decisions for companies and institutions. Teaching is applied, with datathons, challenges and practical class projects tackling complex real-world problems, and the course develops a critical way of breaking problems down. The first part can be spent in Segovia before moving to Madrid, or all four years can be in Madrid. Graduates become data scientists, business intelligence and analytics consultants, data solutions architects or data officers.
