The study plan for the Bachelor in Data and Business Analytics at IE University has been designed with the prestigious academic experience at its core, our academic faculty’s expert knowledge and research in each area, and the linkages between the University and the professional world.
The Bachelor in Data and Business Analytics aims to teach young ambitious individuals to build the proper skill set to become professionals capable of facing real-world challenges.
Through our hands-on teaching methodology, students from the Bachelor in Data and Business Analytics will find the perfect ideal balance between what is studied throughout their degree and the projects that are applied based on real-world scenarios.
This will aid them to develop profiles that are able to adapt to new trends happening now in the 21st century.
During your first year, you’ll go through an introductory phase focused on the foundations of data science. You’ll learn about research methods and how they can be applied to solve technology-related problems through data. During this first year you’ll also study the fundamentals of business, statistics, technology and programming that you’ll need to become a successful data scientist.
In your second year, you’ll study the latest technologies and tools available in the market that can be used to exploit the power of data. You’ll learn about programming, database modeling, machine learning, forecasting time series and big data technology. You’ll also gain the in-depth statistics and mathematics knowledge you’ll need to interpret and analyze data. Finally, you’ll participate in workshops and boot camps that will help you develop teamwork and other soft skills to build a strong professional profile.
During your third year, you’ll dive into the data analytics technologies needed to harness the power of data. You’ll take hands-on classes in which you’ll learn by applying recommendation engines, advanced machine learning, cloud computing, semantic analysis, artificial intelligence and parallel computing technologies to real-world challenges. In this year you’ll also participate in a datathon: an intensive competition where you’ll have to apply all that you’ve learned up to this point in order to solve a real business problem by using, crunching and analyzing data.
In your last year, you’ll be exposed to the professional world through tracks oriented toward Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare or Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering. You’ll be able to choose from a range of electives and courses, selecting those that will help you on your own path toward your favored area or industry. During this year you’ll also take the most advanced courses on software development, business analytics and data privacy. Then you’ll deliver a final project (capstone) in which you’ll integrate everything you’ve learned throughout the program in order to solve a problem or challenge of your choice, with the help of a tutor.
