Our Alumni
The master’s provides you with a set of techniques, strategies, and technologies to tackle today’s business challenges in the data field, such as rapid growth in volume, variety, and velocity. The master’s has allowed me to develop several machine learning algorithms in my company that have had a significant impact on the business.
The master’s at UIC Barcelona is very practical, as it combines theoretical classes with masterclasses from speakers across different sectors, adding significant value. You see real cases that inspire you much more than purely theoretical learning. During the master’s I met David Olmo, my current business partner. The master’s thesis was the ideal framework for us to meet in a near real-world environment and, from there, we founded RawData.
The lecturers are active professionals who, from day one, are very approachable. Working in small groups gives you close interaction with both your classmates and the faculty.
Where do our students work?
TFM. A real challenge to showcase your talent
The TFM is an applied project in which students, working in a group, solve a real business challenge by managing the entire data lifecycle: from data capture to analysis and the final proposed solution. They work as a professional team, applying AI models and advanced analytics, and present the project to an assessment panel. A hands-on experience that strengthens their profile and that they can include directly in their CV.
