BENEFITING FROM INDUSTRY PRACTITIONERS AND RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE
“Most all of the professors are consulting for multinational companies, they understand what is happening on the market. The knowledge we acquire in class is needed by companies and is also the reason most of the graduates integrate seamlessly into their respective work environments when they start working.”
Wang Jingxuan, MITB Class of 2015
Data analytics has become increasingly significant and crucial. Yet in many traditional industries, not many analysts have data analytics capabilities.
During his MITB postgraduate studies at SMU, Jing Xuan learnt about the pros and cons of each method in the field of analytics, and strategies for the business environment. He opined that because the MITB professors were also industry practitioners, the knowledge imbued by the professors could be integrated easily into his working environment.
Jing Xuan’s work on geospatial analytics during his internship also landed him a job following his graduation from the programme.
