Course programme
In the first year, you are introduced to computer science, business economics and in particular mathematics. You learn the basic principles of calculus, probability and decision making based on mathematical modelling. You learn how to code using R and Java. Every six months, you join a handful of your fellow students on a small project team, using simplified datasets to solve real-world problems.
Subjects- Calculus 1
- English Language Test
- Introduction to Business Analytics
- Introduction to Programming (Java)
- Calculus 2
- Project Business Analytics 1
- Sets and Combinatorics
- Operations Research
- Linear Algebra
- Probability Theory
- Accounting

In the second year, you dive deeper into the key subjects from maths, computer science and business economics. In the first semester you learn to work with statistics and models involving uncertainty. In the second semester you focus on different aspects of data and data analysis. You also further develop your programming skills in the Advanced Programming course and learn to program in Python.
Third yearIn the first semester, you choose a minor to specialise in. To conclude the programme, you collaborate with four fellow students on a final project. This is a practical case study on a topic such as the pricing of cargo for transportation by air. Which price do you use for which destination? How do the weight of the cargo and the date of the flight factor in? What is an acceptable price? Using data and algorithms, you come up with innovative solutions.
