    Program overview

    What FOM University of Applied Sciences says about their program:
    "Big Data is becoming increasingly more important in business practice: from finance to the health sector, the amount of structured and unstructured data that companies are providing nowadays is rapidly increasing. Big Data specialists bridge the gap between logic and quantitative methods, programming languages, frameworks and infrastructure, all the way to the interpretation and implementation of the results in business processes.


    There is high demand for Big Data analysts in companies. Therefore, the FOM Hochschule has developed a study programme, which focuses on the corporate value of data. From the summer semester 2022 onwards, (economic-) programmers, engineers, and scientists, as well as mathematicians and statisticians, can enroll in the new full time Master’s programme “Big Data & Business Analytics” which is taught entirely in English."
