The Master's programme in Business Analytics (BA) is a multidisciplinary programme, geared to improving business processes by applying a combination of methods based on mathematics, computer science and business management. The Master's programme BA will deepen your knowledge of these methods and give you the opportunity to specialize in areas like business process optimization, computational intelligence and financial risk management. Their synthesis is often called Business Analytics.
Business problems will be the center of attention and the motivation for the methods to be learned from the three subdisciplines. The Master's programme is concluded by a master project conducted during an internship of half a year.
There are two variants of the programme: The Society Oriented Variant and the Dual Master’s Programme.
In the Society Oriented Variant, the students choose courses for 51 EC, including 30 EC of compulsory optional courses, and complete their studies with an internship for 36 EC. The students have a local advisor at the company and a supervisor from the institute; please contact the internship office roughly half a year before the start of the internship. The students can only start their internship after having finished the compulsory BA paper (6E C) and having completed all but possibly one programme components.
In the Dual Master’s Programme, the students choose courses for 39 EC, including 24 EC of compulsory optional courses. The final internship, as well as the compulsory BA paper (6 EC), typically is incorporated in the work. If you are interested in the Dual Master’s Programme, please note that admission also depends on obtaining suitable employment. Please contact the internship office well in advance.
