Description of the specialty. The knowledge economy and the digital transformation of business are creating new challenges for companies in all industries. Competitiveness depends not so much on the availability of material and financial resources, but on the company's ability to make decisions based on the analysis of large volumes of data obtained from the digital environment. This entails an increase in demand for business analysts and managers of cross-functional teams who are capable of offering effective solutions to problems based on quantitative data analysis. The Big Data Analyst examines huge amounts of information with a complex heterogeneous or uncertain structure (research results, market trends, customer preferences, etc.). The analysis of such data can give a different level of understanding of the subject of research and the observed phenomena, as a result of which discoveries can be made and new technologies, substances, approaches to the phenomena of various spheres of life can be created.

The structure of the program sets the task of forming fundamental knowledge in the field of management and modern analytical tools used to solve managerial problems. Graduates will have methods of processing big data, apply analytical tools to solve managerial problems.
