Seize opportunity at the intersection of business and technology
As Big Data continues to reshape the business landscape, it’s not enough to offer either business or technical skills. Business leaders without technical skills lack the practical tools to make their vision take flight, and technical leaders without business acumen lack strategy and direction. The MMA program is carefully designed to combine elements of pure strategy programs, like the MBA, and pure technology programs, like the MSc in data science. Over the course of a year, students gain extensive experience in using data science algorithms and cloud computing software, as well as fundamental training in managing analytics teams and developing data-driven insights.
Throughout the MMA program, experiential learning underpins the critical link between theory and practice with two analytics consulting projects. In particular, our unique 10-month experiential consulting module provides a unique opportunity to solve data and analytics problems for a corporate organization in a real-world setting. With a wide range of practical tools and hands-on applications resulting from their investment in the MMA program, our students will be prepared for a career in data and analytics no matter what their background.
“The MMA is a perfect blend of skills to get you ready for the market.
Think of it as leveraging technical components from an MSc and strategic elements from an MBA.”
