A CAREER TURNING POINT
“The programme has equipped me with key skills to help organisations use data to drive business. I consider MITB to be a turning point in my career. The programme focuses not only on theoretical knowledge but also real-world applicability. The most interesting (and useful) part of the course was to have the internship.”
Kedharnath Vellore Chandrasekaran, MITB Class of 2015
Most of the industries in the world are now reliant on IT systems for many functions and have realised that IT systems are pivotal for their success.
After nearly 4 years in an IT services company, Kedharnath wanted to diversify his IT skills by pursing a postgraduate programme. His search on many IT postgraduate programmes in various universities revealed their limited scope in terms of data analysis and business intelligence. One of the key considerations that he had was also the duration that allowed him to quickly re-assimilate into the workforce to apply the knowledge.
He settled for the SMU MITB and was glad to have learnt various techniques and tools necessary in data analytics. These skills could be adapted to different industries and implemented in many different ways.
