Programme at BI: Msc Business Analytics
From Taiwan to Norway
I chose an Msc in Business Analytics for several reasons. Firstly, I love modeling tasks. My goal is to become a business analyst in either a corporate or consulting firm. I think the programme structure aligns with my goal very well. The courses are very practical, offering many hands-on modeling experiences based on real business scenarios. I'm particularly interested in business optimization, python, visualization, and machine learning. The skills we learn from these subjects are very popular and useful in the real business world as well. Secondly, I think there is a great demand for business analytics expertise in different industries. Compared to finance or accounting. Business analytics is a relatively new and unsaturated business area that can provide great career opportunities in the future.

Additionally, there are many student societies and academic associations at BI that arrange speeches and workshops. They also have a large network in various industries, so students at BI can enjoy plenty of insightful. Also, interesting speeches from influential people in different business areas every week.
Meeting friends through student societies
I had great experiences being involved in student societies meeting many new friends. For example, I used to be the academic coordinator on the BBA student board. Where I learned a lot from arranging events with other board members and helping new BBA students. I had a lot of fun joining BBA parties and study trips to Copenhagen and Barcelona.

There are also flexible part-time positions at school which can easily fit into your schedule. I have benefited from the career resources at BI a lot. In addition to a part-time position at the BI admission office. I have found four jobs from the BI career portal since my first year at BI.
