Master of Data Science and Innovation ManagementProgramme flyer
After 20 years in existence, the Economic Intelligence and Innovation Management (IEGI) master's degree is evolving to better meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Since the start of the 2022 academic year, it has been called Data Science and Innovation Management (DS&MI). Choosing DS&MI means joining a course at the Saint-Etienne School of Economics (SE²) that combines academic excellence and professional pragmatism, so that you acquire solid knowledge and skills in data science and innovation management and are able to convert them into strategic assets for companies and organisations.
Goals
The Master of Data Science and Innovation Management, a state-recognised degree, awarded after five years of higher education, caters to the new needs of businesses in terms of economic monitoring, use of data, and innovation management.
This master’s programme offers students with an economics, management or engineering background career-oriented training in the field of competitive intelligence and the management of innovative projects.
This implies constant interaction with data sources and information networks, mastery of data processing techniques, and the necessary economic knowledge and management skills to be able to harness such data to feed into corporate strategy.
