The specialization in Marketing Intelligence was the reason why I returned to Portugal. What a good decision I made! It is a very complete program, with an initial theoretical approach that allows us to have a framework to roll up our sleeves and ‘get your hands dirty’. Big data becomes something we deal with on a daily basis, to automate the processes of our companies and to work in an interconnected world that facilitates decision-making processes.
After work, I met colleagues from many industries who complemented this knowledge and together we made this journey unforgettable. I made the right choice!
