Here are the top 5 reasons why you should study a part-time master\u2019s in data science at IE School of Science &amp; Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-it-s-not-purely-online\">1. It\u2019s not purely online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both our part-time and full-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/programs\/master-business-analytics-data-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master in Business Analytics &amp; Data Science<\/a> follow a blended format. While the bulk of your classes are online, we ensure you have access to meaningful interactions with your course mates and faculty in person. which means it allows you to carry out the bulk of the work from the comfort of your home, while still having valuable face-to-face interactions with staff and course mates. This suits current student, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tarinlamberto\/?locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lamberto Tarin<\/a>: \u201cI didn\u2019t want something purely online because then you miss the whole networking and the cohort experience and being able to form relationships with your classmate. For me the IE program was a good mix with the hybrid format.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first face-to-face meeting is based in Madrid and focuses on core concepts like business strategy, mathematics and SQL. The second in-person period, also in Madrid, involves finishing courses and beginning new courses for second term. Then you\u2019ll enjoy a third face-to-face period at an international destination, where you\u2019ll do plenty of networking and company visits. Finally, you\u2019ll have the last meet-up in Madrid, during which you\u2019ll present your Capstone project and industry-leading masterclasses to complement what you\u2019ve already studied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/work-life-balance-and-mental-health.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-1170x779.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/part-time-masters-computer-science.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-you-ll-learn-the-perfect-blend-of-business-and-technology\">2.

Presential learning is relatively straightforward: your teacher speaks, you listen, you live a schedule that\u2019s focused on a focal learning point. The freedom to learn at your own pace comes with its own set of challenges. Will you have the initiative to complete tasks when nobody\u2019s looking over your shoulder? It\u2019s tough, but it\u2019s an experience that hones your entrepreneurial skills for the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne thing that is challenging\u2014but equally an opportunity to grow\u2014is managing meeting times with people all over the world,\u201d says Benjam\u00edn when discussing the advantages of the blended format. \u201cIt\u2019s challenging to schedule team projects with people in completely different time zones, but it\u2019s also an opportunity to grow that organizational skill.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-part-time-masters-in-data-science-can-be-a-big-career-step\">5.
