Career outlook
With a Master of Management in Big Data, you bring leadership competencies and comprehensive knowledge from all relevant big data disciplines to the table. Fast-growing companies are investing in the implementation of data management systems and structures and are looking for qualified experts in the area as a result. With a degree in Big Data Management, you'll have a variety of great opportunities to step into a career filled with innovation and motivation once you graduate.
As a BI (Business Intelligence) consultant, you prepare, transform and make data analysable. This enables you to identify trends, analyse customer behaviour and provide solid foundations for your company's future decisions. You act as a link between IT and the respective departments.
As a Data Scientist, you work at the interface between computer science, mathematics, management and statistics after your studies. Your goal is to use your company's collected data as profitably as possible. You are not only responsible for analysing the data but also placing it into a business context.
The duties of a Data Engineer are very diverse. In general terms, they take care of all processes related to the generation, storage, maintenance, processing, enrichment and transfer of data. An important aspect here is the setup and monitoring of the hardware and software infrastructure - starting with the conception, purchase and installation of all necessary components up to decisions about what software and services are used.
