Executive MBA in Data Science for Executives

EMBA in Data Science – 3Ds

We have constructed BSL’s Executive Education with one central aim: empowering you as responsible actors of change. We have therefore designed the program three-dimensionally.

Dimension 1 – Specialization: mastering data-driven strategies

The specialization in Data Science aims to give leaders an in-depth understanding and the capacity to unleash the strategic potential of data to drive growth. This educational journey is a transformational, not transactional, experience that facilitates your learning and personal growth as a self-aware, adaptive, and responsible leader for a better world.

Dimension 2 – Focus: fine-tuning a unique mix of competences

Students of the EMBA in Data Science for Executives can choose a focus to enhance their capacity as change-makers: Sustainable Business or Business Transformation and Entrepreneurship. They all acquire and develop core competencies in Marketing, Leadership, Strategy, and Finance. The program results in a holistic learning experience that will transform you into a self-aware, knowledgeable and sustainability-conscious business practitioner.

Dimension 3 – Organization: a learning pace that will suit you

The program is modular, meaning that you progress one step at a time. You can choose between full-time or part-time, thus deciding on the intensity of your learning. The module calendar is available early enough to allow you to make sure the modules will fit into your schedule. All modules are available in Dual-Mode if a last-minute event prevents you from coming to BSL.

Data Science for Managers

Business and numbers have been in a relationship for millenniums. Spreadsheets and algorithms initially promised a simplification of this relationship, thanks to faster ways of dealing with operations, rates and probabilities. Yet, the exponential increase of calculation power, combined with the ever-growing volume of accessible data, paved the way to brand new capacities to detect opportunities and make decision. We see the dawn of the era of data-driven business.

BSL professors are expert in their field that pay special attention to bring real-life project to the classroom. This way, the Data Science specialization empower the executive learners with a renewed perspective on business administration, where new patterns constantly challenge experience. This approach is not only refreshing for the mind, it is a decisive advantage when it comes to exploit emerging trends and design disruption.

Leaders don’t need to become mathematicians, but they need to understand what mathematics can do for them. In this perspective, BSL has selected a set of specific skills, including coding, data analytics, trends analysis, AI in Business, or scenario planning. We have packed this fine selection into the Data Science specialization of the MBA and EMBA programs.

Combined with the soft skills that have been BSL’s signature from its origin, the Data Science competencies make for a forward-thinking and innovation-oriented curriculum serving the change to a better world.

Learning Ecosystem

At BSL, a genuine Learning Ecosystem empowers Classroom learning. The EMBA students benefit from various features that will enable them to transfer the knowledge and skills they acquire into their personal and professional development. BSL Career Center provides a structured and holistic pathway toward career advancement, transition, or switch. The program is made of counselling sessions, self-development, and self-branding. It is plugged into the EMBA program through classroom modules, individual meetings, online webinars, and social events. Learn more about Career Support & Employability.

BSL is the partner of the Incub&Co incubator to provide a space entirely dedicated to entrepreneurial initiatives. Distinguished and inspirational Guest Speakers regularly visit EMBA classroom modules and open direct access to a wealth of real-world experiences and innovations.

Learning Style

Personalization of learning starts with the creation of your Study Plan. We want to ensure that you access the courses you need at times that suit you optimally.

We do everything to benefit our EMBA students from what some call “the best consulting machine.” They mean that every module is taught by seasoned and currently active business practitioners and experts with proven success in the field.

Expertise does not only lie with the Faculty. Our admission criteria make for a student body with practical experience and a varied professional and international background (60+ nationalities). Even if courses are taught in small groups (up to 25 students), we estimate that every EMBA student can work in close cooperation with up to 80 fellow learners during a regular course of studies.

You will thus be part of a vibrant learning community, where the semi-formality of the classroom discussions enhances your capacity to inspire and communicate your goals and ambitions. This routine that only personalized education can offer nurtures initiatives with limitless impact.
