Business Big Data Analytics

Recently, the term “Big Data” has become one of the most fashionable and popular in the world. And not in vain. Current opportunities to collect and systematize data have fueled the business by providing more opportunities and enabling the development of better new products.

The study programme is focused on business big data, synergy in development of mathematical and computer science skills and competencies, development of mathematical models for business development decisions. Graduates are able to analyse the business big data, to identify business problems, optimize business processes, apply acquired knowledge and to create mathematical models and algorithms for business decisions and business insights development.

Please note:

The program is implemented in Kaunas, and a group of students from the Vilnius region is also being formed.

Western Union, Applied Business Intelligence Manager in Europe

 

Our company has countless amounts of data but it cannot be simply laying in a drawer. We need people to work with it, who will manage to use it in order to extract insights about improving some of the processes, do research and make conclusions about the customers’ behaviour. Our clients make 29 transfers in one second, therefore, we accumulate enormous amounts of data in the whole world every day. The company really needs specialists, who could work with large arrays of data. Very often, candidates with such experience dictate the price for us themselves.
