Course Description

Course Profile

The specialization, realized fully in English, is focused mainly on methods of analysis of the massive datasets. Within this specialization the students will get acquainted with the technologies used for storing, processing and analyzing large data sets and with other quantitative methods of economic analysis, the computer science tools and their practical application. The students will acquire practical skills in building analytical solutions on Big Data platforms. They will become familiar with distributed and parallel processing systems. They will learn how to use basic tools to visualize large data sets. The specialization is focused on the use of high level programming languages, as well as on the design and programming of the databases. The graduates will be able to incorporate the available methods and tools into the computer analysis systems. In general, the Big Data Analytics specialization prepares future analysts of massive datasets that are stored in companies and economical institutions, such as banks, stock markets, telecommunications companies etc.
The detailed list of subjects is as follows:
• First year: Mathematical Economics, Microeconometrics, Multidimensional Data Analysis, Software Engineering, Computer Networks, Modeling and Optimization of Business Processes, VBA Advanced Programming / Advanced Programming in Java [optional], Dynamic Econometrics, Operational Research – Applications, Survey Sampling, Oracle Databases / Actuarial Methods [optional], Advanced Data Exploration Techniques for Big Data, Facultative Courses 1, 2, 3, Second Foreign Language, Master Seminar.
