Hello and Привет!

My name is Anna, I’m 23 and I come from Russia. Currently, I am enrolled in the first year (M1) of Master in Data Sciences and Business Analytics (DSBA) 2-year program.
Before joining the program, I did my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a Financial Performance specialization at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management (Switzerland) and worked for 1 year at the pharmaceutical company called Bayer in Russia. After getting my hands on data-related projects I saw the potential behind this field. With every passing day, I became more and more passionate about the world of analysis and data.
It is hard to name just one strength of this program as in my opinion its main advantage is being a one-of-the-kind hybrid. No matter if your goal is to dive into the world of data, obtain a highly recognized degree from two universities, or receive international connections within the field, this program will provide all these opportunities. The program is perfectly balanced between data and business-related subjects.
One of the most important aspects is that DSBA unites two well-known universities, CentraleSupélec and ESSEC. Being a student at both universities, has the advantage of using the resources of both ESSEC and CentraleSupélec, thus being exposed to a wider range of opportunities. Aside from this, the DSBA program also focuses on the practical side of education by organizing hackathons and group projects.
I believe that this is a one-of-a-kind program, and I would love to share my journey with you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! We can chat or have a call to discuss everything you want to know about the program, university, or anything else!
