CY TECH
Located in Greater Paris and in Pau, CY Tech is primarily an Engineering Graduate School. It has earned the “Grande Ecole” status, the highest recognition stated by the French Ministry of Higher Education & Research. CY Tech is also a member of the “Conférence des Grandes Ecoles” (CGE), a French association that gathers elite higher education institutions, which meet strict criteria regarding the recruitment process, educational approach, international and corporate network.
Accessible after the completion of a secondary education diploma or through a dedicated post-secondary preparatory class, it delivers a Master’s degree in these four fields: Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Civil Engineering, Biotechnology & Chemistry. Two university departments have been incorporated into CY Tech: the Institute of Sciences & Techniques (IST) and the Institute of Economics & Management (IEG), which broadens our overall course delivery in these specific areas.
What makes CY TECH Different?
One ambitious vision: CY, defined as a university of diversity, society-oriented and of international standing, seeks to educate new generations in the complex challenges of a globalized society in tune with the sustainable development objectives, academic excellence and quality student experience.
National and international rankings, recognized by many specialized media and websites, show once again that CY course offerings are considered as one of the best in the fields of Engineering, Management, Mathematics & Finance, internationalization and professional integration.
Cutting-edge Research & Technology Transfer activities: Research and technology transfer are at the heart of the dynamics of CY Tech, whose missions contribute to the appropriation of scientific knowledge.
CY Tech asserts its vision and pursues an active policy in technology transfer innovation of its research activities, conducted by recognized full-time researchers within its fourteen laboratories and five Open Labs in modeling and experimental sciences.
MASTER IN BIG DATA AND BUSINESS ANALYTICS
Business Intelligence and Business Analytics have now become key elements of all companies.
The objective of this Master’s program is to train future specialists in Information Systems and Decision Support. The program includes solid content in mathematics- and uses a wide range of computer-based tools, which allows students to deal with real problems, analyze their complexity and bring efficient algorithmic and architectural solutions. Big Data is the ultimate game changer.
The targeted applications concern optimizing the processing of large amounts of data (known as Big Data), logistics, industrial automation, but above all it’s the development of BI Systems architecture. These applications play a major role in most business domains such as logistics, production, finance, marketing, client relation management systems.
The need for trained engineering specialists in these domains is constantly growing and this Master’s program answers this emerging need.
Specifics of the Master’s Program
This Master’s Program has grown from the specializations in Decision Support, Business Intelligence and Business Analytics.
CY Tech has been ranked amongst the top institutions in France by independent organizations.
Distinctive points of this course:
- Triple skill-set with architecture (BI), data mining and business resource optimization.
- This Master’s program will be run by a multidisciplinary group: statistics, data mining, operational research, architecture;
- Implementation of interdisciplinary projects;
- Methods and techniques taught in this program come from cutting-edge domains in industry and research, such as opinion mining, social networks and big data, optimization, resource allocation and BI Systems architecture;
- This Master’s program is closely backed up by research: several students are completing their final study project on themes from the L@RIS laboratory, followed and supported by members of the laboratory (PhD students and research professors);
- Being familiar with the tools used in industry dedicated to data mining, operational research and Business Intelligence gives the students an advantage in their employability after graduation;
- Industrial partnerships with companies strongly involved in Big Data are an integral part of this program :
- SAS via the academic program and a ‘chaire d’entreprise’ (business chair), allowing students access to Business Intelligence modules such as Enterprise Miner (data mining) and SAS-OR (in operational research).
- SAP via the University Alliance Program, enabling students’ access to the latest versions of BI modules from SAP, such as SAP-BW and SAP-Business Objects.
Internship
Internships will be supervised by a university professor. A minimum of 3 meetings will take place between the trainee, the school representative and the person in charge of the company/research laboratory. Each meeting will result in a professional presentation of the trainee, which will lead to an assessment.
In addition to these meetings, the student will be required to write an internship report which will contain the following :
- a presentation of the company/laboratory;
- a presentation of the activities and goals;
- an analysis and synthesis of the work undertaken;
- a personal analysis of the internship: what worked and what did not work.
This internship will last a minimum of 22 weeks.
Job Opportunities
A large number of companies need to control BI Systems in order to monitor their activities. Both public and private organizations have to tackle more and more constraints which include new and stricter rules & regulations. Competition is tougher and needs for multiple optimizations are essential for good business practices.
The specialists in this area are looking for experts in the domains of analytics, such as statistics, prediction, data mining, operational research in order to comply with the issues and needs of large companies in areas such as risk, fraud, customer relations and marketing.
The growing and larger demand in these domains offers graduates from this Master’s course numerous and diverse job opportunities –in areas linked to decision support- such as Data Scientists, Consulting Engineers, Research and Development Experts, Tool Design Engineers, BI/Business Analytics Solutions Providers, or simply Users of Business Intelligence tools.
Graduates who wish to specialize in the area of research can start a career in both public and private research centers, find a position as researchers in Higher Education or prepare for additional education at the doctoral level.
