Internships
It is estimated that over the next five years there will be a significant shortage of qualified professionals in this discipline in all areas of business. For this reason, many of the consultancies working on analysing this trend recommend that companies actively seek to establish links with universities where these programmes are taught.
The Universidad Europea's Master in Business Analytics trains graduates and professionals in data processing and analysis to support business decision-making. You'll receive training that's 100% practical and business-oriented, where you'll explore real-life case studies in the following areas: finance, marketing, logistics, risk, insurance and human resources.
Professional Internships
Internships are a key element of your training. Gaining experience after learning skills during your degree is the best way to enter the job market. There are two types of internships: curricular (included in your curriculum) and extracurricular (which you can do on a voluntary basis).
To take part in curricular internships in companies, you must have passed 50% of the credits and enrolled for the subject before starting the internship. These internships are conducted with monitoring by the company and by the internship professor, as well as intermediate and final assessment reports.
If you want to gain more work experience before finishing your university training, you can complete extracurricular internships. You may complete an extracurricular internship during any academic year, but remember that internships are complementary to your studies, so the more knowledge you have acquired over the course of your degree programme, the better you will be able to benefit from your internship experience.
