Why this continuing education master's degree?
The importance of data in today's society is unquestionable. A large proportion of companies - those known as digital companies - base their business model on the collection, storage and analysis of any data relevant to their business. This philosophy implies a radical change in the management of organizations' operations, and requires the digitalization of all their business processes (e.g. creating computer systems to interact with customers and suppliers by websites, mobile applications or GPS systems, adding sensors to mechanical processes to monitor them, etc).

While the digitalization of an organization is an arduous task, the data generated and collected can be analyzed in order to generate important information for making business decisions. This has now been identified as a determinant and differentiating success factor that increases organizations' competitiveness.

Today, the term Big Data is used to refer to a new type of systems that gather and analyse all kinds of data, and the challenges they entail. The most popular definition of the term Big Data is based on the three Vs, which represent its three main challenges: volume (digitalization of some processes can generate large volumes of data) variety (from heterogeneous data sources) and velocity (in terms of potential arrival time and data processing in real time). Today, to address these three major challenges, Big Data is based on two cornerstones: new architectures (mainly based on Cloud Computing and distributed and memory data management) and new data models (such as documents, graphs, key-value and streams).

However, the barrier to entry for incorporating Big Data solutions remains very high for most organizations, as they are managed and maintained in a very different way from any other system. Furthermore, the tools currently used are not yet mature and require a high degree of expertise if they are to be used properly. For this reason, specialization in this field involves specific recycling based on the main concepts behind these technologies. Today, it is necessary to make a distinction between data management in Big Data systems (Big Data Management) and using these data to extract knowledge relevant to the organization with Data Mining and Machine Learning algorithms (Big Data Analytics). In addition, there is no universal solution for either management or exploitation that can be easily replicated in any field, since by definition, the solution in these environments depends on the specific case of use (exploitation).

This master's degree in Big Data Management, Technologies and Analytics therefore provides an overview of the Big Data ecosystem and an in-depth examination of both aspects: management (Big Data Management) and exploitation of data (Big Data Analytics), while providing applicability and a business vision within this world.
Aims
  • Understand the Big Data management problem and its specificities.
  • Identifying the most important characteristics in Big Data management which govern the choice of an architectural solution.
  • Understanding the open data paradigm.
  • Practising with the main Big Data management tools currently on the market (Hadoop, MongoDB, Neo4J, GraphDB, Spark, etc.).
  • Understanding when a business problem can be formalized as a machine learning problem.
  • Identifying the statistical or machine learning models that are most suitable for a given problem.
  • Being able to perform pre-processing of data (structured or unstructured).
  • Being able to evaluate the success rate of the proposed models.
  • Acquiring specific knowledge about the use of Big Data for decision-making in business.
  • Identifying best practices in the application of Big Data when creating a business.
  • Using business modelling tools.
  • Understanding the economic, ethical and legal principles of the operation of a business
Who is it for?
  • Computer Engineers or equivalent interested in retraining in the field of Big Data.
  • Information technology professionals, developers, architects, data analyst and systems administrators, interested in retraining in the field of Big Data.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, in Mathematics or Stadistics. In these cases, the people who apply for admission must have technical training in centralized databases and programming.

The programme is focused on creating mixed profiles in Data Analytics and Data Management.
