Claudia ZuccaIn this post Naomi Moonen and Claudia Zucca discuss the In Action series offered as part of the Master’s programme Data Science in Business & Entrepreneurship at the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS). This previous blog post introduced the course.
The courses in this series connect our Master’s students to the job market, by setting up for them collaborations with actual companies working with data. To ensure the successful integration of these practical courses in an academic context, supervision plays a key role in the In Action series.
Data Consultancy in Action is the second module south korea rcs data in this series of three. Students roleplay as consultants employed by multinational companies to work for external clients. Clients are actual firms that bring a data science problem that students address with their consulting services.
Each client has its unique problem, but students also all have their own learning objectives that they aim to fulfil. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this Master’s programme, we teach students with various educational backgrounds and different interests. Whereas some students already have in mind which particular data science career they want to pursue, others still like to get a taste of the various potential career paths that lie ahead of them. We enable these personal learning trajectories by combining supervision on a group and individual level with the teaching of theoretical knowledge that they can apply in their consultancy services.
