Shenzhen Finance Institute is located in China’s vibrant Greater Bay Area and takes full advantage of the opportunities brought by China's economic growth, rapid technological innovation and increasing globalization of firms based in this region. In this fast-changing environment, the world's top companies, including high-tech, financial and banking organizations, and consulting firms, favor talents who can effectively analyze data to make well-informed decisions.
Unlike traditional business analytics majors, our program combines courses in both information management and operations management to cultivate students' cross-discipline thinking and business skills, together with proficiency in big data processing and management. Students in the Business Analytics direction are taught by an internationally-trained faculty team with outstanding academic achievements, together with senior practitioners from top companies and institutions. Students will learn to transform data into strategic insights, employ appropriate statistical techniques to solve complex data-driven business problems, and communicate the results to business executives and customers. Ultimately, we train our graduates to become leaders with both professional skills and business acumen. On behalf of the Master of Science in Information Management and Business Analytics program, I welcome students from different backgrounds who are interested in data-driven decision-making to join us.
