Analytics and Big Data: The Differentiator
The 10-month program has been designed for working professionals keen on earning international certification without interrupting their careers. The program aims at providing in-depth knowledge with tools and technologies sought after by the industry, including predictive modelling, data mining, big data analytics, marketing, operations and risk analytics.
One of the highlights for the third batch of EPBA students is additional sessions on “Analytics and Big Data for Startups”.
