Data Science and Analytics

Collaborative networking

Building strong relationships and networks with other businesses and experts within this field is one of the most important things we do.

• To ensure that we develop programmes that are adapted to the skills needed by the business community, BI has established what we call advisory councils, which have advisory functions. In these councils, there are representatives from important actors and experts within the business world.
• Another way to make sure our students get access to leading industry competence is by collaborating with different businesses. We have a formalised collaboration with Simula that works actively to increase the level of awareness and competency in data science and what it can contribute to our society. Among other things, it is about strengthening education, research and innovation activities within the subject areas, and the intersection between data science and business.
• BI is also a member of NORA, the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium, which gives us access to an expanded research environment within artificial intelligence.
• Students who take the MSc in Business Analytics at BI, will have the opportunity to complete an internship with one of the world's largest players in data analytics, the SAS Institute, and be certified in their software.
