Description

Business Intelligence is concerned with concepts and methods that can improve business decision-making by providing fact-based support systems. Organisations today increasingly use a set of techniques and tools to transform raw data into meaningful and useful information, to improve decision-making, to cut costs, to identify new business opportunities, and to pinpoint inefficient business processes that are ripe for re-engineering.

Career Opportunities  

The MSc in Business Intelligence offers an excellent foundation for working in the specific analysis of organisational performance for decision-making support, whether internally or as an external consultant.

About the Degree

The first year of the MSc programme combines analytical tools with rigorous academic content, skills geared towards self-management, and communication skills. In the third semester, you can choose elective courses at Aarhus University, AU Summer University or (as an exchange student) at one of 300 partner universities abroad. You also have the possibility to combine electives with an internship to strengthen your practical skill-set. Finally, the fourth semester is devoted to the master’s thesis.

The MSc in Business Intelligence is dedicated to the highest-quality teaching in an informal and egalitarian learning environment. Students are always welcome to approach the teaching staff, and they are expected to participate actively in the classroom. Collaborating in small groups for project work gives students the chance to make the most of the international student environment.
