Analysts are expected to work with data to support the development of an organization and to help make technical, and strategic decisions.
This two-year full-time diploma program is designed for anyone who like working with data and interpreting results to support technical and strategic business decisions. The cohort-based program ends with a capstone project to apply their knowledge before starting a new career. Students will have the opportunity to develop strong project management and team building skills. Data Analytics equips graduates with the skills and tools to divide and conquer massive data sets.
