In a few words
The Master of Science in Economics, Business and Data Analytics offers you a rigorous university education that will enable you to analyse and understand markets, organisations, and decision making. The programme will empower you to take advantage of (big) data using state-of-the-art analytical methods to apply insights from frontier research to real-world problems.
Why should I pursue the Master in Economics, Business and Data Analytics?
Companies and other organisations work with an abundance of data (keyword "big data") and economic decisions are increasingly data-based. Thus, the ability to analyse data has become a key competence in various industries and functions in business.
Our Master's programme aims to provide students with in-depth skills in handling and analysing data in different economic contexts. Specifically, this means that students learn about and apply the central concepts and tools from the fields of econometrics and machine learning. This in-depth knowledge of data analysis is supplemented by in-depth training in selected key areas of economics and business administration. Students can choose between various focus areas such as decision-making, entrepreneurship & innovation, marketing & consumer behaviour, digitalisation, public economics or sustainability. This unique combination enables our graduates to successfully master challenges in a variety of different economic contexts.

«It was important for me to continue my education while doing sports. Thanks to UniDistance Suisse, I was able to organise my studies in a flexible way. I could really use my available time to study wherever I was: on the plane, the train, the bus, in my hotel room. It was unique and incredibly convenient.
The discipline you have to show every day as an athlete also helps you to study regularly and fast at university. On the other hand, studying also helps you to switch off. When I wasn't competing or training, it gave me the chance to immerse myself in another world and gain some distance. It gave me a sense of balance.»
