Always under the strict standards of quality that the UCM expects.

 

Both theory and practice.

With the goal of transforming the knowledge into skills with a home in the job market, the UCM includes the training of all its students. This practical vision of the learning process is of mayor importance when it comes to Big Data and Data Science, with business requiring personnel capable of assuming responsibilities in an autonomous manner and with enough experience to join flexible, interdisciplinary groups.

From the first day the students are trained in tools that allow them to work with the date during its whole life cycle, both as a team and as individuals. Without a need of computing knowledge the students will learn to manage the Big Data from the extraction phase to the analysis and its implementation in real life business situations.

This is the only way to acquire the global vision that will later allow the students to take top responsibility jobs within this subject.
