You’ll also be able to choose from a range of electives during your final year, so you can tailor your degree to target your preferred industry.
The Bachelor in Data and Business Analytics is an immersive program which will prepare you to dive into the job market. From general data scientist to software engineer, here are some of the options you can expect upon finishing your degree.
Data scientist
Perhaps the most obvious choice for Data and Business Analytics graduates is to become a data scientist. For this, you’ll need to put into practice all you’ve learned during your time at IE University, like how to analyze statistics and apply machine learning to give computers the ability to learn by themselves. You’ll also need to demonstrate a thorough understanding of AI pattern recognition which will help you analyze big data.
You’ll need experience in programming, which you’ll gain during your second year, and plenty of creativity in the way you analyze data results. Once you have all this, you’ll be in high demand.
Data analyst
As an aspiring data analyst, you have to be highly analytical, curious, and mathematical. Designing and carrying out surveys will be a big part of the job. Not only will you have to understand the ins and outs of big data, you’ll also have to be able to communicate your findings articulately to those with a similar amount of knowledge as well as those with nearly none. So it will be highly advantageous for you to hone your communication skills before entering the market. You can do this at one of our boot camps or labs, where you will work with your classmates on fascinating projects encompassing the fields of communication, finance, and much more.
These will be especially useful for you as posts for data analysts can be found in all industries, so you can get a taste of the field in which you would most like to work before you start job hunting.
Software engineer
Always been captivated by code and computer systems? You could be on the path to becoming a software engineer. Naturally, you’ll need a lot of experience with information systems and applications, and that programming course you take in your second year would come in handy here. Then, in your fourth year, you will take an advanced course in software development.
From that, you’ll have a strong foundation for being able to design, develop, and install software solutions.
Data architect
The role of a data architect is to set data standards for all of a company’s data systems. That means you’ll be defining and setting criteria for how data should be processed and used.
This is a highly crucial role as it obliges a company to get their information flows in check, allowing for more efficient processes and helping save time and increase revenue.
Business intelligence analyst
Do you know what makes a business tick? Becoming a business intelligence analyst could be right up your alley. In this role, you’ll scrutinize data from competitors and discover industry trends to help your company progress and increase profits. You can prepare for this during your advanced business analytics course in your final year, and by taking part in our marketing lab, which will help you learn about brand-building strategies and equip you with the knowledge to help you advise businesses in the real world.
