  • Data science relies on the synergy between business expertise, mathematics, and computer science to extract value from data.

    What you will learn

    • How to create value from data while integrating economic and societal dimensions?

    • How to design, evaluate, and deploy Machine Learning solutions?

    • How to manage and analyze massive data using Big Data technologies?

     

    A Distinctive Approach

    Our ambition is to enable IMT Atlantique engineers to leverage the data resources they will encounter. Through interaction with decision-makers, they will learn to formulate value-creation challenges, identify key data, manage it, implement processing and analysis systems, and produce summaries aligned with business strategy.

    This specialization stands out through its comprehensive approach: business expertise, mathematics, and computer science, while incorporating economic, legal, and social aspects.

     

    Developed Skills

    With this specialization, we offer 3 career paths: Data Science & Machine Learning (focusing on algorithms and modeling), Data Engineering & Architecture (focusing on infrastructure), and Data & Analytics (focusing on decision support).

    The skills acquired in our Core courses revolve around four fundamental areas:

    • Applied Statistics: mastery of mathematical foundations for data analysis and machine learning
    • Machine Learning: understanding and implementation of essential learning algorithms and advanced AI techniques
    • Computer Science for Data Science: mastery of data science tools and development environments
    • Data Society: understanding of economic, legal, and ethical implications of data

     

    These fundamental skills are enhanced by specific expertise aligned with three major career families:

    Data Science & Machine Learning

    • Design and implementation of complex predictive models
    • Optimization and industrialization of AI solutions
    • Validation and deployment of models in production

     

    Data & Analytics

    • Exploratory analysis and advanced data visualization
    • Construction of decision-making dashboards
    • Supporting decision-makers in data exploitation

     

    Data Engineering & Architecture

    • Design of distributed architectures for massive data processing
    • Implementation of robust and scalable data pipelines
    • Management of data quality and security

     

    Practical Implementation

    The program emphasizes a hands-on approach where students apply their knowledge to real cases. They develop concrete expertise in data management and analysis while mastering the necessary IT tools. This practical experience spans various business domains, allowing students to understand the specificities of each sector.
