emlyon business school
speciality: Business Analytics

Combining both worlds into one, this course gave me all the on-demand technical skills in data science while maintaining a business-oriented approach. Thanks to the strong academic profile of this university I was able to secure an internship and full-time job at Amazon.

I think the DMDS (Data Management and Digital Strategy) program at emlyon Business School has a lot to offer it, but also some areas that need improvement. First of all, I appreciate the school’s emphasis on practice-orientedness, especially the exposure to real company projects, which gives us the opportunity to combine data science with business strategy. The industry experience and lectures of some professors are very inspiring.

However, I felt that the course structure was sometimes not systematic enough, and the depth and quality of some class content depended on the professors who taught the class. Furthermore, the balance between technical and commercial aspects is not stable enough and sometimes feels biased towards one side. Although there are certain corporate collaborations and alumni resources, there is still room for improvement in career support.

In general, this is a course suitable for those who want to combine technology with business, but you need to be self-driven to get the most out of it.

I entered this school because I wanted to learn high professional skills as well as cultural. However, I have to say that some of the professor’s professional skills are really bad. Like really bad. They aren’t able to answer student’s questions, nor are they structured during the class. They also have strong french accent, which is very hard to follow along.
