The MSc Eng is a two-year graduate programme with a workload of 120 ECTS credit points.

Specializations

The tools used by an engineer in Business Analytics, are often grouped in:

• Descriptive Analytics, which can answer the question “What has happened?”
• Predictive Analytics, that focus more on finding out “What will happen?”
• Prescriptive Analytics, where actions are taken and thus answers the question “What should we do?”

The MSc in Business Analytics builds upon this concept and offers two optional specializations, each allowing you to become a specialist in certain areas:

• Predictive Analytics
• Prescriptive Analytics

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
