A well-structured master’s programme that focuses on ‘big data’ skills applied to real business problems is a win-win for all involved; master’s candidates get jobs, the university builds credibility and employers get professionals. This is a great initiative and DNB is excited to be part of it.

Internships are an invaluable way for students to gain experience and discover what they want from a company. We experienced the Business Analytics students from BI to be self-driven, collaborative and motivated by solving complex problems. That is why we have recruited them after they graduate.
