Learning by doing
The Data Sciences & Business Analytics program is built on the premise of learning by doing. That is to say, we don't want you to just theorize about your chosen field of expertise, but to experience it and to delve into the complexities of business life in the real world. That is why, all students will go on an international field trip, do an internship and write an academic dissertation.
Your Internship, with a duration of 4 to 6 months, can take place anywhere in the world and is designed to facilitate students' professional integration. Through the developed network of ESSEC and of CentraleSupélec's partnering firms, institutions, and alumni, you are sure to easily find an internship that suits your career ambitions.
The Academic Dissertation is individual research that you carry out on a cutting-edge topic related to data sciences and/or business analytics. It will be a great way for you to combine your built-up expertise with an inquisitive mindset and real-world data. The objective for you is to experience a first complete and original applied theoretical research experience.
Finally, the International Field Trip is a one-week trip to meet local professionals and business leaders all over the world. You may travel to Hong Kong, Silicon Valley, etc.
