YOUR STRATEGY: MORE EFFICIENCY. STUDY BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE.
Filtered company data is needed for the targeted control and optimisation of business processes. With a degree in (business) informatics, data science or an economic or natural science subject, you will have the necessary knowledge in dealing with database systems and ETL tools to develop all common data types and implement corresponding data warehousing concepts. But it is your Master's degree in Business Intelligence (BI) that will bridge the gap between business strategy and big data, enabling you to manage both operational activities and large amounts of data.
