Student experience Official Master's Degree in Data Science and Business Analytics

We spoke with Cristina, a student at the Official Master's Degree in Data Science and Business Analytics of IMMUNE with the collaboration of the Metropolitan University of Education, Science and Technology of Panama UMECIT to find out about their experience.

What was your professional situation before you started your Master's degree?

I got my bachelor's degree a year ago, in September, so I hadn't really entered the world of work yet. So I decided to look for a specialisation option and that's when I started looking for options and I found this master's degree.

Why did you choose to train in data science?

My undergraduate degree was in finance, and within this sector I work in the following areas databases extensive. I wanted to delve a little deeper into this subject to be able to look for alternatives other than the typical specialisation that is done in my field, which is administrative, I wanted a master's degree that would lead me to be at the forefront, so to speak, something current. 

I wanted an education that would make me stand out from the rest and something that I would enjoy.

How are you finding the experience?

It has been a challenge because, as I said before, I have a degree in bail bonds and I didn't know how to handle the subject. I had some basics in Python, but not much more. However, in the training all the basics are given at the beginning.

Thanks to the teachers that we have all the classes here, all the support material, it has made it a little bit easier for us to go deeper into the subjects.

What do you think of the professors of the Master in Data Science and Business Analytics?

They are people who have a vocation for teaching, you can tell, and I am very grateful to them because they are open to questions and to any concerns that may arise.

They are always attentive and have a lot of availability, patience and, above all, mastery of the sector.

What do you think of the methodology?

The methodology of the Master is very good and accessible.

It has the possibility to watch the recorded classes, which supports those of us who work and cannot see them at the moment and watch them on a recorded version.

Also, the teachers are always there to support us whenever we need them.

Really the methodology is optimal for the people we work with.

How has IMMUNE accompanied you throughout the process?

The accompaniment I have received from IMMUNE has been very good.

I am Ecuadorian, and I applied for the Official Master's Degree in Data Science and Business Analytics for a scholarship through the Higher Secretariat for Science and Technology and Innovation of my country.

During the process, an IMMUNE advisor helped me throughout the whole process. Also, throughout the process I have had different IMMUNE workers who have been attentive and have helped me.

Would you recommend IMMUNE Technology Institute?

Of course I do, with my eyes closed. My experience has been magnificent.

I have already told my university colleagues about this master's degree, and I have recommended them to train in non-traditional fields and with institutions that teach this excellently.
