The SMU MITB programme is a significant milestone in my life. After graduating with a degree in Computer Science, I worked for several years in Information Technology professions within the financial industry. I was keen on expanding my knowledge in business as well as deepen my expertise in the field of data, having noticed its increasing influence in the industry. The MITB programme offers a good balance of technical and business knowledge through the widespread selection of modules offered and industry-experienced professors. Most importantly, the course provides a good blend of course-mates, whose stories add a diverse perspective to the learning experience. A point I found note-worthy, was the ability to shape your MITB journey to suit your needs; barring the mandatory modules, which provide the foundational knowledge. I will certainly recommend the course to those seeking to venture into the space of Data Analytics. Enjoy the learning process, build new friendships, and see you all in the industry!
